Do I need to be in Australia for a face-to-face interview when applying for a Thai DTV visa from overseas?

Hi. I’m an Australian, I’m traveling in Europe now., and I don’t intend to go home anytime soon. I’ve just lodged a DTV application online and I’ve chosen the Thai embassy in Sydney. My question is, will they call me to request a face to face interview? Do I must be in Australia during the visa application process?
