A range of programs and events are scheduled throughout the year for the public to engage with the workings of the parliament. These events are designed for families and adults, and can offer the opportunity to view the chambers in session, meet with Members, and on non-sitting da​ys​ to sit in the chambers.

Public Tours

Explore the Parliament with a free guided tour, kicking off at 1:30pm every Monday and Friday.

Over one hour, our friendly guides will take you through the Legislative Chambers and the historic Parkes, Wentworth and Jubilee rooms. You will experience first-hand the beautiful colonial architecture while learning more about the role, history and work of the Parliament.

The tour is conducted in English and is suitable for visitors of all ages.
