About the Register of Members' Interests
The purpose of the Register of Members' Interests is to place on the public record Members' interests which may conflict, or may be seen to conflict, with their public duty. Matters which Members are required to register are set out in a resolution of the House of Representatives.
Members' Interests Statements
Within 28 days of making an oath or affirmation, each Member is required to provide to the Registrar of Members' Interests a statement of the Member’s registrable interests. The registrable interests of which the Member is aware of the Member’s spouse/partner and any children wholly or mainly dependent on the Member for support must also be included in the statement. The statement is to include:
- in the case of new Members, interests held at the date of the Member’s election
- in the case of re-elected Members of the immediately preceding Parliament, interests held at the date of dissolution of that Parliament
- changes in interests between these dates and the date of the statement.
Statements for the 48th Parliament
Statements are due 28 days after Members make an oath or affirmation.
