Two Australians are reportedly still missing in Taiwan after the biggest earthquake in decades killed at least ten people and injured more than 1000.

The 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit 10km off Taiwan's coast, near Hualien, just before 8am local time on Wednesday, triggering massive landslides and hundreds of aftershocks.

Dozens of foreign nationals have reportedly been rescued, but there are conflicting reports about how many people are still missing.

Taiwan's Foreign Ministry has reported two Australians and two other foreigners remain unaccounted for.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has been contacted for comment.
