Most USA vessels can get a 1 year vistors visa which can be extended to a maximum of 3 years if you maintian contact as to location of your vessel within Australia every 90 days by email. At the end of the visa, the vessel must leave the country or pay an import fee of ( I believe 10%) of estimated value. It also requires that the refrigeration be inspected by a licensed refrigeration specialist to certify that the system meets Australian specifications. ALSO, if you own a wooden boat or a vessel deemed high risk of termites, you will also be required to have the boat inspected for termites at the end of the first year.
