U.S. and Canadian citizens need a tourist visa to enter Australia, which is valid for 90 days.
There are a huge number of visa categories in Australia with requirements varying greatly. Some visas demand only a passport from certain countries; others require a certain level and type of skill or education. Others again are dependent on familial connections.
