For more information on ETA visas check out the government page here.

For the traveller who gets an ETA there is no visa application form, no stamp in the passport and no need to send a passport to an Australian visa office.

Travel agents are able to obtain the ETA at the same time as they book travel to Australia.

Your travel agent will ask for your passport details. This information may be given over the phone; there is no need to visit your agent personally. The agent will key your passport information into the same system used to process your airline reservation. Within a few seconds your travel to Australia will be electronically authorised.

When you arrive at the airport for check-in, the check-in staff can electronically confirm that you have authority to travel to Australia.

A visa system called the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA), is used by about 80% of Australia's visitors. Quick simple and free, the fully electronic ETA replaces a standard visa and is available from most travel agencies and airports. The ETA allows three months on each visit within a one year period. It is free for those staying less than three months and AUS$45 for stays over three months or visitors requiring a four year multiple entry visa.

Standard visas may be obtained from the nearest Australian High Commission, embassy or consulate. If you register in person, it will take two days to process, allow 21 working days by mail. A return or onward-passage ticket or evidence of enough funds for the period of intended stay may be required.
On arrival in Australia, visitors will be asked to produce completed incoming passenger cards (which are usually distributed aboard aircraft and ships), passports and visas.
