Eastern Australia refers to the eastern jurisdictions of Australia and encompasses the following regions:

The states and territories in Eastern Australia. The ones in orange are only sometimes included

• Queensland
• New South Wales
• Victoria
• Tasmania
• Australian Capital Territory (i.e. Australia's capital city Canberra)
• Jervis Bay Territory

However, the term can be ambiguous, pending the following reasons:

• Queensland is not always considered as "eastern", and sometimes Eastern Australia can only mean the jurisdictions that use AEST/AEDT time zone (New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and two other territories).
• South Australia is also sometimes considered to be part of Eastern Australia as Adelaide is considered to be one of the four state capitals of Eastern Australia.
• Sometimes Eastern Australia only refers to mainland states and territories, so Tasmania is sometimes not counted
