Government (30) - (1 seat minority)[i] Liberal (24) Country Party (6)
Changes in composition This is a list of members of the Australian Senate from 1962 to 1965.
[1] Half of its members were elected at the 22 November 1958 election and had terms starting on 1 July 1959 and finishing on 30 June 1965; the other half were elected at the 9 December 1961 election and had terms starting on 1 July 1962 and finishing on 30 June 1968.
The process for filling casual vacancies was complex.
While senators were elected for a six-year term, people appointed to a casual vacancy only held office until the earlier of the next election for the House of Representatives or the Senate.
