About Queensland

The Queensland advantage

Australia’s Sunshine State entices people to visit, work and settle from all over the country, and the world.  

Queensland’s cosmopolitan lifestyle with over 300 days of sunshine per year is an attractive Australian state with diverse opportunities and a modern approach to innovation and growth.  

The state’s high standard of living is built on a world class education and advanced health systems, a modern road and public transport infrastructure, and a diverse mix of friendly cultures.  

Boasting perfect beaches, stunning national parks (on both land and in the sea), and picturesque outback country, Queensland’s vast open spaces enjoy a mostly subtropical climate. 

Queensland has a reputation for creative innovation with industries across a number of sectors leading the state into the future with world-firsts. 

Migrants who are start-up and early-stage entrepreneurs will thrive in a growing and collaborative ecosystem supported by a steady flow and growing demand for specialist talent.
