IIRC you have to get a Returning Residents Visa instead - assuming you still want to stay!

As far as I was aware the PR bit doesn't expire as long as you are in Australia, if you're out of Australia when the RRV expires (which is after 5 years for the RRV with the initial visa granted) then you lose PR otherwise you can apply for citizenship with an expired RRV as long as you are in Australia and meet the citizenship requirements
