Proposed Parliamentary Sittings 2026

Please refer to the above for the proposed federal parliamentary sittings calendar for 2026, which has just been tabled this afternoon by the leader of the House of Representatives, Tony Burke.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like help planning the timing or shaping the approach.
