Hong Kong (SAR China) to Australia visa requirements

Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA, subclass 601) before visiting Australia. Apply through the official Australian ETA app; the ETA has a AUD20 app service charge, allows multiple entries, and permits stays of up to 3 months per visit. A Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) ordinary passport is on Australia's ETA-eligible passport list, so short tourist, family/friend, cruise, and business-visitor trips normally use the subclass 601 Electronic Travel Authority. This is not visa-free entry: all non-Australian and non-New Zealand passport holders need the right visa or authority before travelling to Australia. ETA applicants must apply from outside Australia with an eligible passport and use the official Australian ETA app. The ETA is electronically linked to the passport used in the application, carries a AUD20 app service charge and no other ETA charge, is valid for 12 months or until that passport expires (whichever is earlier), allows multiple entries, and permits up to 3 months in Australia after each entry. British National (Overseas) passports are separately listed by Home Affairs as ETA-eligible under the United Kingdom-British National (Overseas) entry, but this HK-AU pair is written for the ordinary HKSAR passport; dual or multiple passport holders should apply with the passport they will travel on and declare other passports in the ETA application. Work is not permitted on an ETA, and longer stays or unsuitable cases should use the Visitor visa (subclass 600) or another appropriate visa.
