I currently hold a multiple-entry business visitor (subclass 600) visa for Australia valid until January 2020, and I have traveled to Sydney multiple times before for business.
I am planning to spend my next holiday (i.e., next month) in other parts of Australia (Queensland & Victoria). For this purpose, do I need to apply for a tourist visa or will my business visitor visa work?
Note: I have already looked at a similar query raised here but there was no definite answer to it.

I have never been at a border as strict as Australia. I would read this entire trough before going there as it was of big help to me: border.gov.au/Trav/Visi

Yes, you can. Subclass 600 is a general visitor visa, and while there are different streams to qualify for one, once granted they are valid both for business and leisure.

Note that on arrival, you may be asked to justify that you're a genuine tourist, but hotel bookings, proof of funds and a history of travel should be sufficient.

My plan to visit Australia last year was cancelled but last month, I went there as a tourist on my business visa and didn't face any issue with immigration.
