Can I travel to Australia on a business trip using my tourist stream visitor visa?

Accepted answer

Possibly not. You should check the conditions imposed on your visa. These should be listed in your grant notice or you can retrieve it from the VEVO service.

If your visa imposes condition 8101, then you cannot use it for business purposes. Condition 8101 states:

The holder must not engage in work in Australia.

Visas issued under the Business stream would probably have condition 8115 imposed instead of condition 8101. Condition 8115 states (emphasis added):

The holder must not work in Australia other than by engaging in a business visitor activity.

The "business visitor activity" exception is what allows a Visitor visa holder (in the Business stream) to do things related to a business trip.
