Queensland (QLD)

Queensland is the second largest and third most-populous state in Australia covering an area of 1,852,642 square kilometres. Queensland has a population of 4,560,059, concentrated along the coast and particularly in the state's South East region. Referred to as the "Sunshine State", Queensland is home to 10 of Australia's 30 largest cities and is the nation's third largest economy.

Queensland is less centralised than most other Australian states, with 50% of the population living outside the state capital, and 25% living outside the South East region. Queensland is home to many regional cities, the most populous being the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns.

Queensland is a popular choice for skilled migrants and with its year-round beautiful weather and great career opportunities, it is an ideal place to work and live, offering a high standard of living and good working conditions.

Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital and most populous city in Queensland. Its metropolitan area has a population of 2.3 million, and the South East Queensland urban conurbation encompasses a population of more than 3 million. The Brisbane central business district lies in a curve of the Brisbane river and covers an area of 2.2 square kilometres. The city has a density of 379 people per square kilometre, which is high for an Australian city and comparable to that of Sydney. However, like many western cities, Brisbane sprawls into the greater metropolitan area.
