It seems to me that Australians applying for a fiancee visa are submitting a police certificate with fingerprints. Personally, I applied for a IR-1 visa and only submitted a police certificate based on name check and it was accepted by the NVC. I was living in Perth at the time so I had to submit an AFP police check.

Based on your timeline, it seems you are not currently living in Australia. If you are not there at the moment, the rules could be different. For example, I had to get a police certificate from Canada. As I was not living there at the time, it had to be a fingerprint certificate. If I had been in Canada, a name check would have been sufficient.

I had to get a fingerprint certificate for London - major PITA when living in London at the time as I had to get fingerprints done and mailed down to Australia with the application forms.
