The government, thus the Prime Minister who leads that government and therefore the Australian people, serves for a term of three years. As such, the Australian people go to the polls for a Federal Election every three years. Note that the party itself can challenge the leadership of the government earlier than those thee years and change the Prime Minister, but that is an internal machination. The Prime Minister can also choose to call an election earlier than those three years, but must not go beyond that time frame.
