You choose your own preferences.
On the House of Representative ballot, this has always been the case. You must number all the boxes.
On the Senate ballot it used to be the case that if you voted 'above the line', you could only vote '1', and nothing more, and the parties decided the preference flow. That is not the case anymore. Now, the Senate ballot has partially-optional preferencing 'above the line'. You must number at least 6 boxes if you vote above the line, but you can number all the boxes above the line if you choose. I would encourage numbering as many preferences as you can with the knowledge you have. (You can also number below the line if you want to pick your own ordering of the candidates for each party/group.)
