Can I travel to Australia as a tourist on a business visitor visa?
I currently hold a multiple-entry business visitor (subclass 600) visa for Australia valid until January 2020, and I have traveled to Sydney multiple times before for business.
I am planning to spend my next holiday (i.e., next month) in other parts of Australia (Queensland & Victoria). For this purpose, do I need to apply for a tourist visa or will my business visitor visa work?
Note: I have already looked at a similar query raised here but there was no definite answer to it.
