Expected arrival date changed - Australian Visitor 600 Visa

Expected arrival date changed - Australian Visitor 600 Visa - Happy couple walking with basket for picnic

I filed an application for a Visitor 600 visa. Part of the application asked when I was expecting to arrive, and I said 8 November. We have however changed our plans to be earlier by one day (arriving 7 November).

A friend says this arrival date is not important, because the visa will be valid from grant date.

Is this true? Is it necessary to inform them of this change or not?
