The Australian cities most at risk of being hit by a tsunami have been revealed.

Geoscience Australia published a Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) report on Monday, detailing which areas could be hit by a massive wave.

The report includes data for more than 500,000 possible earthquake and tsunami scenarios in Australia.

The north-west coast of Western Australia's proximity to Indonesia's active earthquake zone puts it at a greater tsunami risk than the rest of the country, according to the data.

The latest tsunami hazard modelling updates dace-old data, and will be used in disaster risk management, evacuation plans and infrastructure planning.

Hazard modeller Dr Gareth Davies said there have been 50 recorded tsunamis since Europeans settled in Australia.

'Tsunamis that affect the Australian coast are caused by subduction zone earthquakes in the Indian and Pacific Oceans,' he said.

'In Australia, the north-west coast in Western Australia is more likely than the east or south-west coast to experience a tsunami due to its proximity to the Indonesia tectonic plate boundary, which has a long, seismically active fault line.'

Dr Davies told Daily Mail Australia the east coast could also be hit by a tsunami.

'The east coast of Australia could be affected by earthquakes generated on the Kermadec-Tonga trench, and also other sources: the New Hebrides trench, the Solomon trench, the Puysegur trench and even South America,' he said.

'If a tsunami was generated from an earthquake at these locations, the tsunami would take over three hours or over 15 hours to arrive near the Australian coastline.'

The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre operated together by Geoscience Australia and the Bureau of Meteorology currently gives at least 90 minutes warning ahead of a tsunami to all Australians.

'The 2018 update reflects advances in our understanding of how frequently large earthquakes that can cause tsunamis occur and the uncertainties in these frequencies,' Dr Davies said.

'Additionally, it has data for more locations around Australia. This will make it easier for modellers like me to conduct local tsunami studies, including for major Australian offshore islands and territories.

'The new methodologies in the 2018 update have been tested using 10 years of deep ocean tsunami observational data from the Pacific Ocean to confirm they give a realistic depiction of tsunami behaviour.

'This data will allow us to more accurately estimate the predicted tsunami hazard for specific locations. It was not included in earlier updates, as most of the tsunamis in the test-set occurred after 2008.'
