El Gobierno de Australia ofrece una serie de servicios sociales en todo el país. Programas de asistencia a las personas que están enfermas, ancianos, viudas, desempleados o existen para proporcionar por lo menos una indemnización. Los padres pueden solicitar un subsidio para los niños menores de 16 años de edad. Las prestaciones médicas y hospitales son pagados por el gobierno federal, aunque el seguro de salud privado también está disponible. El Flying Doctor Service ofrece servicios médicos para las personas en zonas remotas y cubre dos terceras partes de Australia, con los médicos que operan desde bases equipados con emisoras de radio para comunicarse con los ranchos distantes y los asentamientos. Australia tiene 455 personas por cada médico y los 112 por cada cama de hospital.
Hay cuatro principales partidos políticos en Australia: el Partido Laborista Australiano (ALP), el Partido Liberal de Australia (liberales), el Partido Nacional de Australia (Partido Nacional), y los Demócratas Australianos (Demócrata). Todos son moderados partidos social-demócratas. Tradicionalmente, la ALP se asocia con los sindicatos, los liberales están alineados con los intereses empresariales, el Partido Nacional es más conservadora, y los demócratas son más progresistas, pero estas diferencias son cada vez más borrosa. Al igual que muchos países occidentales, el sistema es esencialmente un sistema de dos partidos, y todas las funciones más importantes han sido ocupados por la ALP y Liberales por muchas décadas.
Poder Judicial
A la cabeza del sistema judicial de la república es el Tribunal Supremo de Australia, integrado por siete miembros nombrados por el gobernador general en el Consejo. Hay tribunales federales menores y los tribunales supremos estatales.
Gobierno
Australia, una democracia parlamentaria federal, es un independiente y autónoma del Estado y un miembro de la Comunidad de Naciones. La Constitución de Australia, que entró en vigor en 1901, se basa en tradiciones parlamentarias británicas, e incluye elementos del sistema de los Estados Unidos. El jefe de Estado es el soberano británico, y el jefe de gobierno es el Primer Ministro de Australia, que es responsable ante el Parlamento australiano. Todos los poderes no delegados al gobierno federal se reservan a los estados. Australia es un miembro fundador de las Naciones Unidas (ONU).
Ejecutivo
Formalmente, la autoridad ejecutiva en Australia recae en el Gobernador General, nombrado por el monarca británico, en consulta con el primer ministro de Australia. El monarca británico es también el jefe real de Australia, pero no tiene poder real en el gobierno y sirve como una cabeza simbólica del Estado. El gobernador de actos de carácter general con el asesoramiento del Consejo Ejecutivo, o gabinete, formado por todos los ministros de Estado. La política federal en la práctica está determinada por el gabinete, que está presidido por el primer ministro, que es el jefe del partido mayoritario en el parlamento. Los ministros son responsables de los distintos departamentos del gobierno federal, y que estos departamentos son administrados por funcionarios permanentes.
