Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

Not sure if this the right place to put this, but does anyone know if there's been any updates on expansion of the Australian Travel Declaration (ATD) trial?
Was on QF26 HND to SYD yesterday morning and ATD was available as an option in the Qantas app. Sounded like quite a few fellow passengers on the flight also completed the ATD.
The newest update I can find on the trial is from August, saying the trial was being extended to SYD for QF144 and QF122. Can't find anything about flights coming from anywhere other then New Zealand.

Prior update (March 2025) says all QF flights into BNE were on the trial.
