Most proposed Commonwealth legislation is introduced into the House of Representatives. In our From Bills to Acts seminar we explain in detail the whole legislative process – from the introduction of a bill into the House, to what happens when it becomes an act, or law. We guide you in how to find and use on-line documents related to the legislative process.
