pero pag single entry lang, tapos sabi 3 months lang validity (valid only from June 17th to September 17th), then that means inclusive ung timings na dapat siya pumasok within those dates. however, pag single entry pero wider range, kunwari (june 17th 2016 to june 17th 2017), then ung 3 months magka-clock in the moment pumasok siya.
so at the end of the day, check mo ung range ng dates na binigay at kung single or multiple entry siya (it spells the difference)

for example, your visitor visa is granted today, valid for 1 year, single entry and period of stay is 1 month. ibig sabihin, pwede ka pumasok ng australia "once" anytime from today until 16 June 2017, for a maximum stay of 1 month.
