Australia’s Parliament House is designed to help members of Parliament carry out their responsibilities with the support of hundreds of people who work in the building.
Each year, about one million people visit the building which houses the Parliament of Australia. The large structure sits at the apex of Capital Hill in the centre of Canberra-Australia’s national capital. The building was designed by architects Mitchell, Giurgola and Thorp and opened in 1988. The flagpole that straddles the building has become a symbol of the Parliamnet and of Canberra.
