I find it super hard to do my math all within the lines, especially when I have to write integrals... is there any reason for them being so tightly spaced?

Yep! I found it annoying at times as well. VCAA probably don't want the working out lines to take up too much space than necessary otherwise they will need to print even more paper.
But don't be afraid to use two lines of working out when writing those symbols, or even go below to use the unlined space. (As long as within the scannable area it's fine). And if you are ever seriously running out of room to write, feel free to draw a vertical line in the middle of the working out space to give yourself more room.

hm but if they dont want to print unnecessary paper how come they leave whole pages blank or dont fill up the whole page with questions?

😂 I’ve always thought that too...I find I am always using two lines when writing integrals and large fractions - there just isn’t enough space and I want my handwriting to be legible. If they can’t read what you’ve written, they can’t mark it. Better safe than sorry, and you’re allowed to use the blank space, provided, as james.lhr said, that it is within the scannable area.
