Defacto Visa - Temp to Permanent

Hi

I am currently on a temporary defacto visa - I have been on this visa for almost 2 years.

Does anybody know what the next procedure is?

Will immigration contact me or will I need to send them another application for permanent residency?

Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks

And it's 2 years from date of application for the temp visa, not when it was granted.

If they don't contact you by 6 weeks before this - contact them.
