Wake Turbulence for light acft

CASA have provided 3 June changes on wake turbulence separation in Class D, but have forgotten to notify that this also applies in Class C from that date.
The changes have been included in ATC docs but I heard they forgot to include it in AIP - stand by for an AIP Sup.
As I understand new procedures:
VFR light arcraft behind Heavy and Medium do not have to be provided with a wake turbulence standard. They may be provided with Caution Wake Turbulence if ATC think it is likely to affect the aircraft.
Arriving IFR aircraft may request a waiver of the wake turbulence standard.
