Question: “When is the best time to save on Australian visa application fees?”
Answer: “Now!”
If you want to save on your migration or visa application fees (already high enough) that are payable to the government, then you need to act now because fees almost always increase in June or on July 1 every year.
This is in addition to other random fee increases.
In some years Australian visa fees have been known to double!
Apparently, certain visas for Australian immigration are amongst the most expensive in the world.

That’s why we always advise:
Act now on your migration or visa application before it is too late!”
