Domicile bids happen once a month usually. On rare occasions I have seen them hold an extra bid.
The bids are usually held at the end of the month and are effective for the next PBS bidding period. For example, if they have domicile bids close on the 28th of June, your domicile award becomes effective for PBS bidding on the 10th of July, and you will start working out of that new domicile on 1 August (unless you have a carryin pairing/trip from the previous month).
