Ordinarily a BV does not confer working rights, save perhaps when you're on a student visa which has prior working rights but if on a visitor visa, thus without work rights, your BV may not have work rights automatically. You can, however, request for a limited work rights to be granted if you are or will face hardship during the waiting period for the substantive visa being applied for to be finalized.
I was on visitor visa when I entered and was granted BVA without work rights when I applied for a substantive visa. So after about a month I communicated to immigration that I may not be able to sustain myself without work for the next month and thus requesting for work rights. I was advised to provide immigration with my budget, receipts of expenditures for the past month and my bank account(s) balances.

If sept 2019 po expiration ng TV multiple entry
First entry: sept 22 2018
Return ticket: Dec 14,2018
Is it possible/safe to lodge 820 application on Nov 30, 2018?

You must be in Australia when you lodge your application and when a decision is made on the temporary Partner visa (subclass 820).
Sa pagkakaintindi ko, kahit na nung pagkadating mo pwede ka nang mag-lodge ng application. Ang medyo tricky ay yung dapat nasa Australia ka "when a decision is made". Since matagal ang processing times (19-24 months), expired na yung TV mo by that time. So kailangan na bago mag-expire ang TV mo ay makabalik ka sa Australia para magamit ang BV.
Am sure others can share their experience and/or thoughts on the matter... or better yet consult an agent.

I have applied the Subclass 461 New Zealand Citizen Family Relationship (Temporary) visa. My substantive visa is Tourist visa. When I submitted my application I was given a Bridging visa A with no working rights.
I would like to ask for an advice on how to change the condition and have working rights on my BVA. they stated on the home affairs website they may only change if I provide proof of hardship.
I plan to submit an appeal will use financial and professional hardships as my reason.
Has anyone tried and was successful? I would like to know what documents you used to prove these claim.
My situation is my wife is working as casual RN and works40hrs per week. She might land a permanent full time position this month and I plan to submit my appeal this January 2019.
I have been in australia since Aug 30,2018, went out of the country Nov for 2 weeks and then back here again. So Ive been out of work of 3 months now. Since my wife works casual and has good hours, the money in our bank has been okay so far. The reason why stating this is because I fear that they might not think i'm having a hard time financially?
I hope you guys can share a thing or two in this matter. Thank you po.

Your wife can apply for 482 Subsequent Entrant visa for you and your child(ren) provided you and your child(ren) have been included in the nomination form from her sponsor/employer during the initial process of sponsorship. If granted 482 visa, you will have full working rights.
If you have not been included in the nomination, there is a separate filing process for partner visa and child visa.
If you are on-shore during filing and since you're on visitor visa, you can be granted a bridging visa which will take effect once your visitor visa lapses if the 482 visa is not yet granted. Normally, it takes about 2 weeks to one month for the process assuming all documentation is in order. The bridging visa may or may not allow you working rights.

The danger, I think, with you situation is that the system might overlap with 2 current applications, your PR visa and visitor visa. If your PR visa is approved first and then subsequently your visitor visa, the latter will supersede/negate the former. Again, this is just an opinion. I am not even sure if the system will allow you to apply for a visitor visa with an existing application for a PR visa.
Perhaps may iba na naka-experience...
