Parliamentary Library

Research Services for Parliament

The Parliamentary Library is a working library that provides research services for members of Parliament and parliamentary staff. We also answer requests from the public for information on any aspect of Parliament.

We have created a pilot platform to share selected tools, dashboards, maps and visualisations developed by the Research Services Team.
