its normally 3 months,once in Australia you can apply to extend it but if denied you must leave......only in certain circumstances is 12 months granted

Answer 5

My wife and I had a 12 month holiday visa.

You will be required to explain in some detail (written) how you are financially supporting yourself and why you wish to be granted a 12 month visa. The application form can be downloaded..

The descision was remarkably fast. You have to send all documents and revidence required by secure post (use the post office) with return postage paid for a sae. We sent our application to Australia House on a thursday and ove visa arrivd back at at our house the following Tuesday!
