    Every year, Members of Parliament declare their personal interests in a number of specific categories. These include financial interests, such as shares in a company, and other interests, such as being a trustee of a trust. Their interests are then compiled into a Register that is presented to the House.

    Member ECO Lease Disclosures

    In 2021, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) agreed to expand the members public expense disclosures to include any conflicts-of-interest (COI) relating to electorate office leases. It was agreed that all related party leases including details of rent paid and the independent rent market assessment would be published. The purpose of the additional disclosure is to assure the public that members are not using parliamentary funding to pay excessive rental on properties where there is a connection between the landlord and the member.
