Does my dMAT exemption from a current APS application automatically carry over if I file a new APS application later?

No, your dMAT exemption does not automatically carry over. It applies only to your current APS procedure, so a new application filed later is treated on its own terms rather than inheriting your earlier exemption.

Exemptions are tied to one procedure

Your exemption applies only to your current APS procedure. It is not a permanent status attached to you as an applicant, so it does not follow you into a future application automatically.

What governs a later application

If you submit a fresh APS application at a later date, for a different intake or after your first application lapses, the rules in force at that later date will determine whether the dMAT applies to you, regardless of your earlier exemption status.

My Advice

If your current application lapses or you decide to reapply for a later intake, re-check the dMAT rules in force at that time from scratch. Do not assume your earlier exemption automatically protects a fresh application.
