Under normal circumstances the Australian ETA takes minutes. It is entered into the computer and approved instantly. This sounds like a failure on the Australian Government's part, unless there was a reason to deny approving the visa. Most airlines, however, will make accommodations for such situations and will allow travel at a later time without charging enormous change fees and penalties.
