Do I need to send my actual documents to Canberra for my Thai visa application while in Australia?

The question revolves around whether actual documents need to be sent to Canberra for a Thai visa application from Australia. Responses indicate that, for some visas like the O type spouse visa, you may need to send your passport, but other documents can often be submitted as copies. Personal experiences shared suggest that sending passports is common, while supporting documents might not need to be originals.
