General information
The Visitor visa (subclass 600) lets you visit Australia for tourism or business visitor activities.
Tourism includes holidays, recreation and seeing family or friends.
Business visitor activities may include attending a conference, negotiation or an exploratory business visit.
You cannot work for or provide services to a business or organisation in Australia or sell goods or services to the public. If you are intending to do short-term work in Australia you should apply for the new Temporary work (short stay activity) visa (subclass 400).
People intending informal study or training for less than 3 months, may also apply for a Visitor visa.

Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary Sally McManus has called for an end to Australia's uncapped temporary working visa system.
In a speech to the National Press Club, she said: "According to 2016 Senate report, there are 1.4 million visa holders with working rights in Australia."
"That represents about one in 10 workers. That's right, one in 10 workers in the Australian labour force are on temporary work visas."
Ms McManus made the same claim a month earlier, telling ABC's RN Breakfast: "We've got a problem where one in 10 workers are now on temporary work visas."
Is she correct? RMIT ABC Fact Check investigates.

Her claim assumes that all temporary visa holders with the right to work are actually working.
Experts told Fact Check there was no evidence to either support or contradict that assumption, and that they could only speculate on the employment rate of different groups of temporary visa holders.

You can have too many jobs on your CV and sometimes there are some to leave out.
If you’re in a middle or senior role says Randstad’s Penni Hlaca, your employer-to-be doesn’t need to know that you rolled ice creams after school, as she did.
Nor do you want to miss an opportunity. They might lose concentration if your CV is more than three pages long and filled with your hokey pokey past life.
The ice cream job is only relevant if you’re new to the workforce and you want to show that you’re motivated to work as well as having the organisational skills to hold a job down.
Excess jobs can be taken out whilst still being truthful, says Hlaca.
The rule of thumb is to go into detail for your last three jobs only. Previous roles just need to be listed in brief with names of employers, dates of employment and role title. Nothing more, unless the role you are applying for h... less
