Yes, there is a lower house (House of Representatives) and an upper house (Senate). Similar to the US, members of the House of Reps represent local districts (called ‘electorates’) and members of the Senate represent the states. Unlike in the US, the head of the executive government (in Australia’s case the prime minister) and the ministers all have seats in the parliament (ie Congress).
