Join a Separated Partners or similar FB group. Applying for an exemption requires a stat Dec (legal document). Evidence why travel is necessary NOW. If you can also be away for more than 3 months that's important. Having good financial resources if you get stuck. If there is serious/grave family illness then that's one reason. But the FB groups are very helpful. Travel Exemption Australia is a good one. They are all private so you must join.Does anyone have experience applying for a travel exemption out of Australia on compassionate grounds? I'm wondering what qualifies.
And if first refused, try try again.Thank you so much everyone, I will check out all the links, but I already feel better armed than when I posted. I really appreciate it. Sounds like a bit of a lottery.

Except that there are a bazillion examples of those boxes being ticked and travel still denied. As above, it's a lottery.Read the Operational Directive. This is the document that tells you exactly which boxes your application must tick in order to be successful.
Good luck.
