Where the bills come from

Office of Parliamentary Counsel (Federal Register of Legislation) · official page · Official API (rung 1 of 7)

Commonwealth bills that have become law this year and last — every Act on the Federal Register of Legislation, with its assent date and a link to the bill on the Parliament’s own site.

• Bills still before Parliament, and bills that failed or lapsed, are not shown: they are published only on aph.gov.au, ParlInfo and ParlWork, which answer automated requests with a web application firewall block.
• Titles are the Acts’ titles. The bill’s own title is one click away on the Parliament’s page.

162 bills recorded, 0 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Parliament of New South Wales (Hansard API) · official page · Official API (rung 1 of 7)

Every bill taken up in the current Parliament, with each stage in each House dated — first reading, second reading, committee, third reading, return with amendments, assent — from the Parliament’s Hansard API.

• Hansard records that a stage was debated, not how the vote went, so a bill negatived at second reading reads as having reached second reading.
• Bill pages link to the Parliament’s bill-details address by the bill id Hansard gives. The Parliament’s website blocks automated checks, so those links were checked by hand.

444 bills recorded, 170 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel Victoria (legislation.vic.gov.au) · official page · Structured data endpoint (rung 5 of 7)

Every bill in the current Parliament and those changed in the last 13 months, with status, the member who introduced it in each House, and the stage-by-stage timeline from each bill's page.

• The JSON search endpoint is the one legislation.vic.gov.au itself uses, not a documented API, so it can change without notice.
• Stage dates come from each bill page on the same site.

133 bills recorded, 50 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Queensland Parliamentary Counsel's Office (legislation.qld.gov.au) · official page · Structured data endpoint (rung 5 of 7)

Bills introduced in the current Parliament (the introduced print), and which of them have a third-reading print — the bill as passed.

• The Parliament of Queensland site, which publishes stages and sponsors, answers automated requests with an Azure WAF challenge, so only the Parliamentary Counsel data is used.
• Stages between introduction and passing are not published in structured form.

75 bills recorded, 21 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Parliamentary Counsel's Office Western Australia (legislation.wa.gov.au) · official page · XML feed (rung 3 of 7)

Bills currently in Parliament, their bill numbers, and the Acts each one amends or repeals — from the Parliamentary Counsel's Atom feed and the table it links to.

• No stages, dates or sponsors: the Parliament of Western Australia bills database answers automated requests with an Azure WAF challenge.
• A bill leaves the table when it passes or fails, so FOCUp can say it is no longer before Parliament but not which.

45 bills recorded, 45 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Parliament of South Australia (Clerks of both Houses) · official page · Parliament database export (rung 6 of 7)

Every bill of the current session from the Clerks' Index to Bills — Council and Assembly bill numbers, Act numbers once assented, passed both Houses, received from the Assembly, negatived in either House, and whether each is a Government or private member's bill.

• The indexes are PDFs, read by text position; they carry no stage dates.
• The House of Assembly index is updated less often than the Council index. A bill found only in it shows the stage with the date the Clerk printed.
• Bill pages on SA Legislation answer automated requests with a Cloudflare challenge, so links go to the Parliament’s index pages.

35 bills recorded, 23 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Parliament of Tasmania · official page · HTML page (no structured source found) (rung 7 of 7)

Current bills, each with its stage table for both Houses (dates for first reading through Royal Assent), who introduced it, and the bill text.

• Read from HTML pages: no structured source publishes Tasmanian bills.

41 bills recorded, 41 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

ACT Legislative Assembly · official page · Parliament database export (rung 6 of 7)

The Assembly's own Bills List for the current Assembly: bills before it, passed (with Act number and notification date), negatived, and withdrawn, each marked as a private member's bill or not.

• The Bills List is republished after each sitting period, so a bill introduced this week appears after the next edition.

71 bills recorded, 17 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.

Northern Territory Government (legislation.nt.gov.au) · official page · HTML page (no structured source found) (rung 7 of 7)

Bills before the Legislative Assembly and bills recently passed, each with serial number, sponsor, introduction date, status and the bill text.

• Read from HTML pages: no structured source publishes Territory bills.

9 bills recorded, 9 current. Last checked 2026-09-15.
