Highly skilled professionals, entertainers, motivators, sportspersons, ministers, journalists, guest celebrities and artists are eligible to apply for the Temporary Work (Short Stay Activity) visa. This visa allows you to stay and work in Australia between 1 and 3 months. Applicants are allowed to include one of their family members or relatives for a visa that would allow them to travel to Australia as dependents.
