The Greens lost three seats at the 2025 election, including Melbourne, the electorate of their former leader Adam Bandt. Their national Senate primary vote was down by almost one percentage point compared with 2022, though they have maintained the same number of Senate seats. Their national lower house vote was steady, with 12.22% of the primary vote in 2025 compared with 12.25% in 2022. This means the Greens are ranked third-highest among the parties, behind only Labor and the Liberals.

NotesIn the election there will be a total of 150 electorates. This is one fewer than at the 2022 election, as two electorates were abolished due to redistributions by the AEC, and one new one – Bullwinkel in Western Australia – was created. The list of candidates includes only those announced by the major parties and prominent minor parties to date. It will be updated with the full list of confirmed candidates when that becomes available.
