I was thinking of situations where you’re required to use your legal name. I realize this is Australia and not the US so things probably work different than I expect.
As soon as you legally change your name, it becomes your legal name. The only places where you would need to state that original name might be on something like a passport / visa / or tax return.

People might not take an applicant with such a name seriously, or think of them as unhinged for using it.
