Worth noting too that ACMA does still issue and manage callsigns, and they expire 5 years
after they were last confirmed (no cost to reconfirm, just to issue).
If they didn't do this, they wouldn't have a reliable way to recover usernames
from silent keys or those no longer using them for other reasons and we'd eventually
run out.
Cheers,
Steven

As mentioned, the ACMA assist portal (login required)
will continue to
show your callsign allocation, and you can take a screen shot of this.
This is the same portal you will need to use every 5 years to confirm
you are still alive and using your callsign.

Just like here in .US. That is good enough for ARDC.
I could last time… that was nearly 12 months ago. If I do it now, I'll
be submitting the exact document I submitted 12 months ago. It
referenced an expiry of 2025-01-15.
If I do it after 15th January next year, the document will no longer be
on the ACMA Register of Radiocommunication Licenses… I'll have been
force-transitioned to being on the class license. Even if I use the
file I have now, the existing one from the ACMA will be considered
invalid at that point. There is no replacement following it because the
ACMA no longer issues them.
My callsign is old enough (October 2008) that there's no "letter" saying
I was assigned this call other than the license renewal notices, which
would otherwise imply I no longer hold this callsign.
There's no WIA callsign recommendation document for me, as that was
brought in later. Only those licensed circa 2012 or so would have such
a document.

I haven't lost my mind...
...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
