What is the maximum term limit for The Australian Parliament?

The Australian Constitution sets a maximum term limit of 3 consecutive terms for members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. However, this limit only applies to the specific chamber of Parliament in which a member serves, not to both chambers combined. This means that a member of Parliament can serve a maximum of 6 consecutive terms in total if they alternate between the House of Representatives and the Senate. In practice, however, it is very rare for members of Parliament to serve the full 6 terms, as they often retire or are defeated before reaching this limit.
