Since Australia became a federation in 1901, the nation has witnessed 31 individuals take on the role of Prime Minister. A select few among these leaders have managed to serve consecutive or non-consecutive terms, as there is no cap on the duration of a Prime Minister’s tenure, provided they maintain the electorate’s support.
Currently, Anthony Albanese has been in office for nearly three years, having assumed the position in May 2022. If he secures victory in the upcoming federal election, he could ascend to the ranks of Australia’s top ten longest-serving Prime Ministers.
This article presents a chronological overview of each Prime Minister’s term, organised from the briefest to the longest periods in office.
