Aevamo’s reading

The Migration Act 1958 s.42 creates the obligation at the root of this regime — a non-citizen must not travel to Australia without a visa that is in effect — and s.32 creates the special category visa for New Zealand citizens. The Migration Regulations 1994 and the ministerial instruments made under them (IMMI 18/084, LIN 23/064) then prescribe who may use the streamlined visa routes.

The instrument specifies these passports as eVisitor eligible, so the holder may apply online for the Subclass 651 visa before travelling; clause 651.511 (cited in fieldSources) fixes the stay at 3 months per entry within a 12-month validity.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.

The rule is one instrument covering 1 places, so this answer is the same for Australia .
