Bringing the Parliament to classrooms around Australia

Each year, we travel to regions around Australia with low visitation rates to Parliament House, bringing our engaging parliamentary education program to classrooms and staff rooms.

In 2024 we delivered programs to the Northern Territory and in 2023 to South Western Sydney.
