JA: What steps have you taken? Have you filed any paperwork with the U.S. government?

Your departure from Australia is subject to standard border clearance processes – an exemption to travel restrictions does not exempt you from these requirements. You do not need to re-apply for permission to depart if your flight details or departing port change. A record of this outcome is available in border systems, in order to facilitate your departure."

Hi, I’m John, solicitor, and reviewing your post, and may need to ask a few questions a long the way to assist you.
Concerning your important matter, once you have received the exemption, that exemption remains in force until you leave the country. So if you're leaving within three months, for the relocation overseas, then that exemption remains in force until you've left the country.
In other words exemption you have remains valid. And you can leave as required when you relocate overseas accordingly.
Thank you for reaching out today.
You have a legal right to protect your interests in this important situation.
