This is a great question, thank you Sarah.

Each sitting – meeting – of the Senate and House of Representatives has a schedule so senators and members of the House of Representatives know what is going to be discussed. This schedule is called the Notice Paper.

The Senate Notice Paper is published on the Australian Parliament House website a day in advance. The House of Representatives Notice Paper is published close to when the sitting day commences.
