The citizens of most countries (including the UK) require a visa to travel to Australia.

This is an electronically stored authority to travel to Australia, allowing passengers to be processed quickly on arrival in Australia, with no requirement for a paper visa in the passengers passport. This is a multiple entry visa allowing stays of up to 3 months. Get yours here.
