How the House works

The House of Representatives is where governments are formed and where most proposed Commonwealth laws are introduced. Through its seminar program, the House offers people interested in its work an opportunity to find out how the House actually works.

How the House works – a seminar delivered by senior officers from the Department of the House of Representatives – is designed to help attendees learn more about the role of the House and its members, the legislative process, and the work of House and Joint committees.

These sessions are designed for anybody who wishes to know more about the work of the House of Representatives, including public servants, educators, and community groups.

The seminar will be offered on three occasions in 2025. Currently available sessions – including booking options – are displayed below.
