JSK Year 6 - Making Democracy: 3 Levels of Government

Three Levels of Government

Australia has three levels of government that work together to provide us with the services we need.

The three levels are:

• federal - Australian - Parliament, in Canberra
• state and territory parliaments, in each state and territory capital city
• local councils - also called shires or municipalities - across Australia.

Each level has different responsibilities.
