American visa policy for Australian citizens

Australian citizens don’t need a visa for short trips to the United States for tourism or business. Under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), eligible travelers can obtain an approved ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before departure.

iVisa offers one United States entry document for Australian travelers:

United States ESTA: A mandatory electronic travel authorization for Australian citizens traveling under the Visa Waiver Program. The ESTA must be approved before travel and allows short stays of up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.

General United States entry requirements for Australian travelers are:
Australian passport valid for the duration of the stay
Approved ESTA
Proof of onward or return travel
Compliance with US security and customs requirements
Other supporting documents, depending on purpose or situation
