If someone stays in Australia even after their visa has expired, they become an unlawful non-citizen and can be deported from Australia. In some cases, this can attract a three-year ban from being granted another Australian visa.
If you remained in Australia illegally for more than 28 days, any future application for an Australian visa will be subject to an exclusion period.
