Australia Has No President—It Has a PM and Governor-General

Australia is a constitutional monarchy, not a republic. There is no president.

• Head of State: King Charles III, represented by the Governor-General (currently Sam Mostyn, from July 2024).
• Head of Government: Prime Minister (currently Anthony Albanese, Labor, since May 2022), leader of the majority in the House of Representatives.

The Governor-General performs ceremonial and constitutional duties (assenting bills, appointing ministers, dissolving Parliament) on advice of the PM. The PM runs day-to-day government.
