You should note that you must not overstay your visit to Australia, that is, you must depart Australia before your authorised stay period expires. If you do not, Australian law requires that you be detained and/or removed from Australia. Overstaying may also affect your ability to acquire another Australian visa, including an ETA, in the future. Where exceptional circumstances arise while you are in Australia on an ETA that require you to stay longer than three months, you must obtain another visa from an Australian Visa Office before the end of the three month visit period.

The answer depends on your personal circumstances and preferences. Your ETA is valid for travel to Australia for 12 months from the date it is granted or less if your passport is valid for less than 12 months. You can apply for an ETA at any time and, provided you arrive in Australia within the ETA validity period and you have the same passport you used to apply for the ETA, you may apply for the ETA in advance. However, you should be aware that you would need to apply for a new ETA if your passport expires and you are issued with a new passport.
If your online application comes back as not
approved, which does sometimes happen for no apparent reason and is nothing
to worry about, then eVisas to Australia Pty Ltd will follow up your
application for you with the Australian Department of Immigration.
We will
email your details to the Australian Department of Immigration and then
reprocess your visa after 4 days. Sometimes they ask for a copy of the
biodata page from your passport. If this occurs we will email you and you must
send the required information to them as soon as possible so that your visa
can be issued.
