All
travellers, except New Zealand citizens, must obtain a visa or travel
authority before travelling to
Australia.
For
conference delegates, the appropriate visa is a Business
(Short Stay) visa, even if some tourism activities are planned for part of
the stay in Australia.
The
Business (Short Stay) visa (subclass 456) allows the bona fide business
person to make a visit to Australia of up to three months to conduct
business - a conference, negotiation or an exploratory business visit. A
single-entry or multiple-entry visa may be issued.
In
many countries, you can obtain a Business (Short Stay) visa at the same
time you purchase an airline ticket. Ask for a Business Electronic Travel
Authority (ETA) for Australia.
Alternately,
you can apply for a short-stay visa on the Internet - see the ETA
website for details. Or
you can lodge a written application at a departmental office by using
form
456, Application for a
business (short stay) visa.

asked questions about
