Which people (jobs) are connected with each level of government?

Thanks for your interest in the three levels of government – an important part of how Australia is governed. The three levels are:

• the federal – Australian – Parliament
• state/territory parliaments
• local councils/shires

Many people are involved in the work of each level of government. For example: 

Australian Parliament	Prime Minister Governor-General Speaker of the House of Representatives President of the Senate Serjeant-at-Arms Usher of the Black Rod
State/territory parliaments (each state/territory parliament has their own position titles)	Premier or Chief Minister Governor Speaker of the Legislative Assembly
Local councils/shires (each local council/shire has their own position titles)	Mayor Council President councillors
