During this period, suspensions and financial penalties will not apply.
Mutual obligation requirements remain suspended up to and including Monday 8

time to prepare for the new arrangements.
From Tuesday 9 June 2020 job seekers will be required to undertake at least
one appointment with their employment services provider. This can be done
online or over the phone.
Job seekers are encouraged to maintain contact with their employment services
provider at this time to ensure they are aware of opportunities available for
training, upskilling or employment.
Special circumstances exemptions will continue to be available from Services
Australia for job seekers who require them.
Sole traders and those who are self-employed will continue to be exempted from
requirements to allow them to work to re-establish their business.
These arrangements are supporting Australians through the challenges presented

available in the coming weeks.

Brief answer about visa holders. Doesn't mention mutual obligation requirements at all.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Job seekers
section_headers: Mutual obligation requirements
section_content: We’ve suspended mutual obligation requirements for:

JobSeeker Payment
Youth Allowance as a job seeker
Parenting Payment
Special Benefit.

We’ll let you know when they start again.
You can still choose to:

attend phone or online appointments with your provider
do the online activities in your Job Plan.

However, it won’t affect your payment if you don’t do these things.
You still need to report your income every fortnight so we pay you the right amount. Tell us if
you report the wrong income. Tell us also about any changes in your
circumstances. If you don’t, we may pay you too much. This means you’ll have a
debt to pay back.
We may be able to exempt you from your requirements if you’re impacted by
coronavirus. If you’re in isolation at home, we’ll grant you an exemption for
up to 14 days.
For us to do this you need to tell us as soon as possible after you’re
isolated by calling us on your
regular payment line. You need to tell us why you’re isolated, for example, if
any of the following apply:

a doctor or government authority has told you to isolate yourself because of possible exposure to coronavirus
you need to isolate yourself after reading the latest health alerts from the Department of Health.

You don’t need to give us proof to support your exemption. However, if you
need to stay in isolation longer, you’ll need to call
us on your regular payment line
to update us on your circumstances.
If you’re a principal carer you may also be exempt. You may be exempt if
either:

your child’s childcare centre has closed
you’re caring for an adult with a disability or special needs whose day service or supported workplace premises closes.

You’ll need to call us on your
regular payment line to let us know.
