The most important thing you must remember about not having a visa label in your passport is that you should use the same passport for travel to Australia that you used for your visa application.
New passports
If you obtain a new passport after you have been granted your visa, you must advise the department of your new passport details.
It is especially important that you let the department know about your new passport before you board your plane for travel to Australia. If you do not provide this information you may experience significant delays at the airport and may not be allowed to board your plane.
