Parliament House

Watch politicians at work

Marvel at the 81-metre flagpole with an Australian flag bigger than a double-decker bus at Parliament House, one of the worlds most architecturally acclaimed buildings. Don’t miss the panoramic views of Canberra from the roof, stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens and enjoy the renowned collection of Australian contemporary art.

Watch politicians in action during Question Time as they engage in debates and make important decisions about the health, security, wellbeing and welfare of the people of Australia. When the Houses are in session, visitors may view the proceedings of both the House of Representatives and the Senate from the Public Galleries in the Chambers. There are 388 seats available for the public to view proceedings in the House of Representatives Public Galleries at Parliament House.
