Role-play program at Australia's Parliament House

We have been delivering the role-play program at Australia's Parliament House (APH) for 20 years. Each year over 90,000 students participate in our role-play programs. The total number of students who have participated in role-plays at APH since day one in 1988 is 1,462,275.

Our role-play gives students from all over Australia the opportunity to experience what it's like to be a parliamentarian or an official working in the federal Parliament.

The role-play explores the four main functions of the federal Parliament:

  • making and amending laws
  • representing the people of Australia
  • forming the government
  • scrutinising the work of the government.

Role-plays are facilitated by experienced educators and take place in a simulated parliamentary setting, complete with costumes and props.  Our educators will guide your class through the program and assist students with written or oral instructions as required.
