I just had my DTV (workcation) approved from Canberra, Australian Embassy.
Applied July 1st, asked for more documentation (proof of being able to work overseas) on the 4th and approval came through last night (30th of July).
A few things I've seen people ask about:
I had a sponsorship letter from my parents
I am a freelancer and wrote a letter on behalf of myself with my own company letterhead.
There was some good advice in this FB page, so thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shares their experience of getting a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) approved from the Australian Embassy in Canberra. They applied on July 1st, responded to a request for more documentation on July 4th, and received approval on July 30th. They provided details about using a sponsorship letter from their parents and including their own letter as a freelancer on company letterhead. Comments from others included congratulations, advice to print the visa approval email for travel, and tips about showing the visa upon arrival in Thailand.
Congrats! I don't often see someone get approved with a sponsorship letter from their parents to satisfy the financial part of the application. Hope you have fun in Thailand!
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight āļø to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
