Queensland
Queensland welcomes people from interstate and overseas with ideas, skills and initiative to share a quality of life that ranks with the best in the world. A relaxed lifestyle, affordable homes and easy commuting make Queensland one of Australia's most attractive places to live and work.
With up-to-date technology and services, the lowest taxes in Australia and plenty of space to develop and expand, Queensland is the preferred location for many new businesses each year.
The people of Queensland enjoy an outdoor lifestyle with world class beaches and waterways, national parks, rainforests and tropical reefs. Our pleasant climate (average summer temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius, average winter temperatures of 15 degrees Celsius) means that Queenslanders enjoy more winter sunshine and warmth than most other Australian states.
Queensland's enviable lifestyle ensures that its current population of over 4 million continues to grow and prosper.
The South East is home to the state's capital, Brisbane, a beautiful city on the river. Brisbane's rapidly growing population has created exciting opportunities in the construction and infrastructure sectors.
Brisbane is a major business hub that attracts global attention, with multinational companies basing their headquarters in the subtropical metropolis.
n the latest worldwide liveability index conducted by The Economist, Brisbane rated 9th out of the 140 cities surveyed.
Two thousand kilometres north of Queensland's capital city Brisbane, the Cairns and Far North Queensland region is an excellent place to live because of its amazing natural features, numerous communities both large and small and broad variety of services. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is a two-and-a-half hours flight from Brisbane.
The region has an enviable tropical climate, allowing for a range of outdoor activities year round. Winter, the dry season, is between May and October and brings low humidity and cool breezes. Summer, between November and April, is also known as the wet season.
Queensland's regions and Australia as a whole have skills shortages in a wide variety of occupations. The booming economy and rapid growth of Queensland's regions have led to a demand for major infrastructure projects across the state.
