A Bill is a draft Act of Parliament. Under Australia's Constitution, a Bill may be introduced in either House of Parliament with the exception of a supply or money Bill which must be introduced in the House of Representatives. Depending on who introduced them, Bills may be referred to as:

Government Bills, which are Bills introduced by Ministers or on behalf of Ministers. All Government Bills are drafted by the Office of Parliamentary Counsel (OPC);

Private Members Bills, which can be introduced by any Senator or Member of Parliament.

More information about Bills, including information about their passage through Parliament, can be found on the Bills and Legislation page of the Parliament of Australia website.

For any Bill that passes, details of the originating Bill are found on the details page for the Act as made.
