You can apply online for a Working Holiday Visa: https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/applyNow.do?form=WHM First Working Holiday (subclass 417) For people aged 18 to 30 years of age, who are interested in a working holiday of up to 12 months in Australia. Alternatively, if you are visiting for three months but not working in Australia, you can apply for an eVisitor or e676 Tourist Visa: http://www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/visitors.htm (British citizens can apply for either one.) The eVisitor allows visitors to travel to Australia for short term business or tourism purposes for up to three months. https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/app/uu?form=TV <-- Apply for eVisitor here. The e676 Tourist visa allows people to visit Australia for holiday, sightseeing, social or recreational reasons, to visit relatives, friends or for other short-term non-work purpose. Tourist visas are available for a stay of three, six or 12 months. https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/app/uu?form=VSS <-- Apply for e626 Tourist Visa here.

I assume you mean Australia rather than Austria and you say you're living in the UK, but what is your country of citizenship? If you're a UK citizen or are from almost any other European country, you need an eVisitor visa which you can get online, free of charge from the Australian government immigration website: http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/tourist/evisitor/ If you're from the USA, Canada or any other non-European Visa Waiver Program country, you need an ETA - cost is AUD$20: http://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ If you're from any country not covered by the above, you need a subclass 676 Tourist visa. Cost is AUD$105. See How to Apply for details of how to lodge your application: http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/tourist/676/ It would have been much easier if you had told us your country of citizenship.
