Home to world famous tourist jewels like the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest and Fraser Island, Queensland is a state blessed by beauty and good fortune. Long heralded as the Sunshine State – a land of long expanses of sandy white beaches, flame red outback sunsets, rainforests and reefs – Queensland is now delivering a new vision as Australia’s Smart State. Amid the sunshine and sub-tropical ambience, government and industry are working together to drive sustainable economic growth and foster a climate of knowledge, creativity and innovation.

As Queensland’s capital city – Brisbane leads the charge. The city has a world-class presence in a range of industries including aviation, information and communications technology, life sciences and healthcare, mining and mining services and global players such as Mincom, Flight Centre, Bechtel Services, Virgin Blue and Boeing all choose to call Brisbane home.
