ang nakikita kong impact is:
- magtatagal before you can apply for citizenship
- you can fly in and out anytime until Sept 2021. pero after this, either you stay in Australia until ma-grant ka ng citizenship or you apply for a Returning Resident Visa kung lalabas ka after Sept 2021 (though i heard na kailangan you have stayed at least 2 years before getting this, not sure though)

Ask ko lang po if the assessing body (i.e. ACS) will accept philippine documents that are certified as true copy by SG Notary Law office? Or need to be certify by philippine authority / embassy?

though kung statutory declaration ung ipapasa mo, since it requires na pirmahan in person nung tao making the statement before the notary, then dapat macertify un where nakareside ung tao (i.e. if ung manager mo sa pinas ung gumawa ng stat dec, then sa pinas din dapat ipa-certify un).
