Why this verdict
Indian citizens need an Australian Visitor visa (subclass 600) for ordinary tourism visits. The application is lodged online through ImmiAccount; this is still a visitor visa, not ETA/eVisitor access. Australia can grant different stay periods depending on the case, but the tourist stream commonly covers short visits such as up to 3 months.
