Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 676)
This visa allows people to visit Australia for a holiday or recreation, or to visit family and friends. This visa may also be used for other short-term non-work purposes including study for less than three months.
Overview
You must have a genuine intention to visit Australia as a tourist, for recreation or to visit your family and friends.
A Tourist visa will generally cancel (or cease) any other visa held and come into effect as soon as it is granted. You should contact your nearest Australian visa office before lodging a Tourist visa application if you have questions about how a Tourist visa would affect your existing visa.

Extending your stay
If you are in Australia and want to extend your stay for tourism purposes, you must apply for a new visa at least two weeks before your current visa expires.
A Tourist visa may be granted if you:
-
have complied with the conditions of your previous visa
-
meet all the eligibility criteria for this visa
-
do not have a 'No further stay' condition on your visa
You should note that a further visa, if granted, will cease any visa or ETA currently held and the entitlements attached to that visa or ETA.
If a decision has not been made on your application before your original visa expires, you will be able to remain lawfully in Australia until the application has been finalised.

Bringing family
Family members, under 18 years of age, who are travelling to Australia and are included on your passport, can be included in your application. Other family members who have separate passports must lodge separate applications.
