No, you must get one before you depart.
I think you can organise an 'e-visa' online - check www.immi.gov.au

Cilla & Neil_Oz are right - You must apply ahead of time. Do it on-line at the web-site mentioned by Neil. The process takes about 2 minutes and you'll have a confirmation number back by e-mail shortly after that. Then when arrive in Australia all your information will be in the immigration computer system.

We've always gotten our visas on-line. No one ever asked to see a copy of our visa confirmation receipt. We just presented our passports. All the information was "already in the system".

It was 2003, but my visa was processed before I left the US. It was for a business trip. I never received anything, the travel agent applied for it I guess (ignorance is bliss)
Anyway, i got to the airport in LA (after flying from Bos) and they said the b-day on the visa didn't match my passport. The person at the gate said "she'd call me when it was straightened out" 30 minutes later it was.
I would just verify whether by paper or telephone that the information was correct.

Yes a visa is required before you leave for Aussie (except for us lucky guys here in NZ). I see from another post that you have had trouble with getting your name changed on your passport. I hope you have it back now, because if you get the visa on the old passport number (the one that is missing) and then get a new passport (with new number) your visa will like as not be of no use to you.
