The Australian Neotectonics Database hosts an inventory of over 300 Australian intraplate faults and fault related folds that are known or suspected to be associated with earthquakes large enough to deform the Earth's surface (i.e. mostly M>6). These features are likely to have been the source of damaging ground shaking in the recent geologic past, and may potentially be in the future.
