Papers presented to Parliament (and ordered to be printed) is a Previous Series of Parliamentary Papers - Australia (Commonwealth)

Commonwealth parliamentary papers began in 1901. Until 1966 they were published in subject groupings (such as "General" or "Finance") within a series of volumes for each Parliamentary session, titled The records of the proceedings and the printed papers. The House of Representatives Votes and Proceedings and the Senate Journals were published as Volume 1, and the Parliamentary Papers in Volumes 2 onwards, with an index in Volume 1.

From 1967 papers were arranged by Parliamentary Paper number and bound yearly in an independent series.

Sometimes the Senate has published its own papers (identified by the letter 'S'), which are bound with the Journals of the Senate.
