Sugar gliders are native to the states of eastern and northern Australia (Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and southeastern South Australia), including the northern part of Western Australia as well as the Northern Territory. It is also found in Australia's island state of Tasmania, to which it was most likely introduced during the early 1800s.
Habitat conditions preferred by sugar gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in the Tasmanian bushland, and warmer, humid bushland and rainforests of northern Australia. They are healthiest in drier eucalyptus bushland rather than moist rainforest. They prefer areas where there is a variety of Eucalypt species, and an understorey of acacias or wattles.
