Miss World Australia 2019 is all set to crown its new queen who will represent Australia in Miss World 2019. With the national competition all set, the provinces are selecting their finalists who would represent them and compete for the national crown.

Till now, Tasmania and Southern Australia have selected their finalists while the other provinces are still hosting their official preliminaries to the state finals. On 30th March 2019, Tasmania State finals were held where Liz Wakefield was announced as the official representative of Tasmania to Miss World Australia 2019.

On 5th April 2019, Southern Australia’s state finals were held which were judged by Maria Digeronimo and two finalists were announced, Klea Hanson and Em Ross, who will now advance on to the next stage of the national competition.

Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia are yet to announce their finalists for the national pageant. The winner of Miss World Australia 2019, along with the sash and the crown, will win the opportunity to represent Australia in Miss World 2019.

Last year, Taylah Cannon represented Australia in Miss World 2018 but unfortunately failed to secure a place in the Top 30. She did place in the Top 32 in the Top Model Competition. Australia holds two titles in Miss World which it won in 1968 and 1972 respectively. Since then, the country has not won any Miss World crown.
