Mr Mearns said the wreck location is approximately 30 nautical miles due east of the southern tip of Moreton Island at a depth of 2,059 metres.

Acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard has congratulated the search team.

"The discovery of the AHS Centaur will ensure all Australians know and commemorate the 268 brave nurses and crew who died in the service of their nation," Ms Gillard said in a statement.

"I hope by locating the final resting place of the AHS Centaur, the family and friends of those men and women who were tragically lost find some resolution."
