If My Hong Kong Training Visa Application is Denied Will I be Precluded From Visiting the HKSAR Subsequently?

What happens if your application for a Hong Kong training visa gets refused – will you be able to arrive and visit Hong Kong subsequently – or not?
QUESTION
I’ve been accepted into a startup accelerator in Hong Kong.
It’s not one of the “pre-approved” ones for the so-called Start-up visa so I’ve been recommended to apply for a training visa for the duration of the program.
What I’d like to know is if I don’t get approved for the training visa, does that prevent me from entering Hong Kong in the future on a standard visitor visa (I have an Australian passport).
I’m asking because I know in the US, a visa denial prevents you from visiting on the visa waiver program. Is that the same for Hong Kong?
