After studying here in Canada, I will apply for the post-graduation work permit and as soon as I have the permit, I will leave Canada to travel through Australia for 3 months. I definitely want to do this, so it's basically decided. Can I even leave Canada with a post-gradation work permit for 3 months, without losing the permit?

Thank you

I guess You can
I got my PGWP in aug 2012. I went to back home in 2013 from April to July(three and half months). I had no problem when i re-entered Canada.

A PGWp is a work permit not a visa as i understand so standard reentry conditions will likely apply.

Is a multiple-entry visitor visa enough (along with a pgwp)? Or is there a different type of visa that is needed?

That's enough (unless expires, of course)
