Under Partner visa, apart from getting marriage, there is another option is under "de facto" relationship. De facto relationship means that you and your partner have been living together as a partner (same-sex, different sex, it doesn't matter) for at least 12 months. That is very straightforward.
However, under "de facto" relationship, if you and your partner have not been living together for at least 12 months yet, you still can apply for permanent residency under Partner visa as long as you register your relationship.
Not sure about other states, but so far I know that in VIC and NSW, we can register our relationship and that "Relationship Certificate" can be used to apply for Partner visa. So, don't panic if you have not live with your partner for at least 12 months. Things can be done as long as you plan way ahead and get all your document ready.
