The Sydney Morning Herald estimates that the tour will boost Australia's economy by $9 million.
The ship is expected to spend 28 sailing around Australia.
The 2012 voyage will reportedly be the longest period Queen Mary 2 has been based in any country outside her northern hemisphere home ports of Southampton and New York.
Cunard president and managing director Peter Shanks said in a statement he expected very strong demand from Australian and international markets when tickets for the Australian tour go on sale in mid-2010.
