Notes

a ^ Northern Territory Senator Nigel Scullion sits as the sole representative of the Country Liberal Party, the local equivalent of both the National and Liberal parties. He sits in the National party room, and serves as the National Party deputy leader in the Senate.
b ^ There is no separate LNP party room. Senators Boyce, Brandis, Mason and Macdonald sit in the Liberal party room, while Senators Boswell and O'Sullivan sit in the National party room, as did Senator Joyce.
c ^ New South Wales Liberal Senator Helen Coonan resigned on 22 August 2011. Arthur Sinodinos was appointed as her replacement on 13 October 2011.
d ^ On 27 February 2012, New South Wales Labor Senator Mark Arbib resigned on 5 March 2012.[1] Former New South Wales Premier Bob Carr was appointed as his replacement on 6 March 2012.[2] Carr resigned on 24 October 2013, after having been elected for a six-year term beginning in 2014. ABC election analyst Antony Green believes this has created two vacancies: one in the remainder of Carr's current term to 2014, and a second for the 2014 to 2020 term.[3]
e ^ Western Australian Senator Judith Adams died of breast cancer on 31 March 2012. The Parliament of Western Australia appointed Dean Smith as her replacement on 2 May 2012.[4]
f ^ Tasmanian Labor Senator Nick Sherry announced his resignation on 9 May 2012 and resigned on 1 June 2012. The Parliament of Tasmania appointed former state MLC Lin Thorp as his replacement on 20 June 2012.[5]
g ^ Tasmanian Greens Senator Bob Brown announced his resignation on 13 April 2012 and resigned on 15 June 2012. The Parliament of Tasmania appointed Peter Whish-Wilson as his replacement on 20 June 2012.
h ^ South Australian Liberal Senator Mary Jo Fisher announced her resignation on 21 June 2012 and resigned on 14 August 2012. Anne Ruston was appointed as her replacement on 5 September 2012.[6]
i ^ Western Australian Labor Senator Chris Evans announced his resignation on 2 February 2013 and resigned on 12 April 2013. Sue Lines was appointed as his replacement on 15 May 2013.[6]
j ^ Three Senators resigned in August 2013 to contest seats in the House of Representatives at the 2013 federal election. Barnaby Joyce (LNP, Queensland) resigned on 8 August to contest New England. Matt Thistlethwaite (ALP, New South Wales) resigned on 9 August to contest Kingsford Smith. David Feeney (ALP, Victoria) resigned on 12 August to contest Batman. Sam Dastyari was appointed as Thistlethwaite's replacement on 21 August. Mehmet Tillem was appointed by the Victorian Parliament as Feeney's replacement on the same day. The LNP nominated Barry O'Sullivan to fill Joyce's vacancy, however his appointment was delayed until 11 February 2014 due to his involvement in an investigation by the Crime and Misconduct Commission.
k ^ Northern Territory Labor Senator Trish Crossin and Australian Capital Territory Liberal Senator Gary Humphries were succeeded at the 2013 election by party colleagues Nova Peris and Zed Seselja respectively, who assumed their seats immediately under electoral law.
l ^ New South Wales Labor Senator Bob Carr resigned on 24 October 2013. Deborah O'Neill, who had lost her House of Representatives seat at the 2013 federal election, was appointed to the vacancy on 13 November.
