Indonesia (Maluku and Western New Guinea), Papua New Guinea, New
Caledonia, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. In Australia, it is common along
the eastern seaboard, from Queensland to South Australia and northwest
Tasmania. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas.
Several taxa traditionally listed as subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet
are increasingly treated as separate species. Rainbow Lorikeets have
been introduced to Perth, Western Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; and
Hong Kong.
