If your school is within a 50-kilometre radius of the Parliament House, we can come out to your school to run our role-play in your classroom.

Our interactive role-play allows students to experience the law-making process firsthand while they take on the roles of Speaker, Clerk, Serjeant-at-Arms, Premier, Leader of the Opposition and other members of Parliament. The role-play is conducted over 75 minutes in your classroom.

We currently offer role-plays for students in grades 5/6 and VCE Legal Studies, and for more information on the types of role-plays we offer, please visit our role-play page.

Join us for a free tour focusing on the architectural history and design of this Melbourne icon.

Facing the intersection of Spring and Bourke streets, the west facade of the building, with its sweeping steps, elegant lamps and grand colonnade, suggests solidity and strength.

However, appearances can be deceptive as the ambitious vision of 19th century architect Peter Kerr was never fully realised, leaving the building incomplete.

With features showcasing the wealth Victoria had accumulated from its gold and wool exports, a visit inside Parliament House is sure to delight anyone with an interest in architecture and historically significant buildings.
