Parliament House

Parliament House is a symbol of Australian democracy. Home to the Parliament of Australia and meeting place of the nation, Parliament House is the focal point of Canberra, our capital city. One of Australia's most iconic buildings, Parliament House integrates Australia's unique identity into its impressive architecture, stunning art and furniture collection, and beautiful landscape. Visit a working Parliament building - hear what the Government is doing, see new laws being made, listen to debate about issues of the day - and be a part of democracy in action.
