The 6 tallest buildings in Australia.

These are lists of the tallest buildings in Australia. Heights are measured to the structural height, which includes architectural elements, but not communications spires or antennas, per the guidelines of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Not included in the lists are nonbuilding structures, such as observation towers, radio masts and chimneys.

Australia is home to the world's tallest all-residential building, Q1 in Gold Coast, Queensland.[1] Despite Q1 being located on the Gold Coast, the majority of Australia's tallest buildings are located in the country's two largest cities: Sydney and Melbourne. The Eureka Tower in Melbourne, Victoria is currently the tallest residential building in the world when measured to its rooftop.
