​​The Australasian Study of Parliament Group (ASPG) is a politically non-partisan body which was established in 1978 to encourage and stimulate research, writing, teaching and discussion about parliamentary institutions, particularly those in Australasia and the South Pacific. The ASPG has Chapters in all States and Territories of Australia and in New Zealand.

Membership consists of parliamentarians, parliamentary officers, academics, teachers, journalists, students and other interested individuals.

Australasian Parliamentary Review

The Australasian Parliamentary Review is the ASPG's official journal and is published twice a year.
 

ASPG Annual Conference

The ASPG holds an Annual Conference hosted by the Australasian parliaments on a rotational basis.

The 2022 Annual Conference, hosted by the Parliament of Victoria, explored Parliamentary transparency, checks and balances.

The 2023 Annual Conference was held from 27 to 29 September 2023 at the Parliament of Western Australia. The conference explored the privilege of Freedom of Speech, Debate and Information—a bedrock principle underpinning democracies, and ensuring the independence and effectiveness of parliaments in the Westminster tradition. 

The 2024 Annual Conference is scheduled for 2 to 4 October 2024 at the New Zealand Parliament, and will explore Parliamentary resilience in an ever-changing world.​​
