The correct answer is Australasia!!!
Australasia includes Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea.

However, New Guinea is also sometimes included in Melanesia, so Australasia can even be understood as only Australia and New Zealand.

Oceania is the word for Polynesia, Australasia and Melanesia together.
