Parliament House and Webex seminar priced at $350

How the House Works, a half-day seminar on the House of Representatives, will run on Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Participants can attend at Parliament House, Canberra, or join online via Webex.

The seminar starts at 9.15 am and ends at 12.45 pm on 29 July 2026. Tickets cost $350.00 AUD, including GST, for both online and on-site participation.

Senior officers from the Department of the House of Representatives will present the seminar. It is aimed at professionals seeking a practical understanding of the House.

The programme explains the work of members and committees. It also covers the legislative process and how legislation moves through the House of Representatives.

Unlike a public tour, this professional learning session focuses on procedure and daily parliamentary work. That includes chamber business, committee work and practical questions about House processes.

In-person attendees will also get a provided morning tea at Parliament House. During that session, they can network with other participants and ask questions of senior staff from the Department of the House of Representatives.

Attendees in Canberra will also join a Q&A session in the public gallery overlooking the House of Representatives chamber. That part of the 29 July 2026 programme gives participants a direct view of the chamber setting.

Meanwhile, online participants can take part through Webex for the same $350.00 AUD ticket price. The briefing lists no separate discount for remote access.

Tickets are limited for the 29 July 2026 seminar. People with group booking or ticketing enquiries can contact the organisers by email at [email protected].

Further information is available at www.houseofrepresentatives.gov.au.

At three and a half hours, the seminar offers a short-format but in-depth introduction to House practice. The briefing presents it as a practical way for professionals to strengthen their understanding of the legislative process.
