Continentul poate fi impartit in trei regiuni principale : Scutul Australiei de Vest , Platoul Estic si Marele Bazin Artezian . Scutul este un podis care se suprapune in mare parte cu statul Australiei de Vest , format in principal de aflorimente de roci precambriene vechi de 5.703.000 milioane de ani . Cele mai remarcabile dintre aceste aflorimente sunt Peninsula Arnhem si Podisul Kimberly din nord-vest . Platoul Estic este o regiune muntoasa cu o latime de aproximativ 500 km , care formeaza Muntii Marii cumpene de Ape . Varfurile cele mai inalte au o inaltime de numai 1.500 m . Muntii New England si Muntii Albastrii din sud au inaltimi intre 900-1.500 m.
