Navigating Parliament House

Parliament House is divided into four parts:

• Public area
• House of Representatives
• Senate
• Ministerial Wing.

When you enter the main entrance, the northern entrance, you are in the public area.

The Reps side is to your left, the Senate side to your right, and the Ministerial section straight ahead. Each of these four sections has its own external door: the Public (north) entrance, the Reps (east) entrance, the Ministerial (south) entrance and the Senate (west) entrance).

The building is on three levels, ground, 1, and 2. Each MP has an office with a number like "RG 23" or "M1 30" or "S2 45".

• RG 23 translates as Reps side, ground floor, room 23
• M1 30 is Ministerial wing, first floor, room 30
• S2 45 is Senate side, second floor, room 45

We are aiming to organise an "Unescorted Pass" for all registrants.
