Federal Law (Australia)

Federal law in Australia refers to the body of laws created by the national government, which applies across the entire country. It includes legislation passed by the Parliament, regulations made by government agencies, and the Constitution that outlines how the government operates. Federal law governs areas such as immigration, trade, taxation, and criminal justice that affect all Australians. It works alongside state and territory laws, which govern more localized issues. The High Court interprets federal laws and resolves disputes between state and federal authorities, ensuring a consistent legal framework nationwide.
