Australia usually has a general election every three years, give or take several months. There is a window of about 4-6 months.

There is no statutory minimum length term for members of the House of Representatives. If there is good cause, the Prime Minister can request the Governor-General to call elections as soon as the new House take their seats, although this has not happened in recent decades.
