Australian Legislation

A guide to researching Australian legislation.

Legislation by Jurisdiction

Government websites within Australian jurisdictions each publish authoritative versions of legislation. The University also subscribes to legislation databases that help researchers identify how the courts interpreted the legislation. Databases may also include the legislation, amendment details, extrinsic material and citations. Click through the jurisdictions in this library guide for information on how to search for relevant legislative material.

The Law Library website also includes key legislation databases via the Research Databases by Type listing.

Watch the Australian Legislation video for an overview on searching for up-to-date legislative information.

This video is part of the Legal Research Video Series developed by the law library to help students with their legal research (log in required).
