{{tl|{{PAGENAME}}}} produces links to a variety of different legislation resources located on the [[AustLII]] site. Formatting is designed to be in compliance with the [[Australian Guide to Legal Citation]].

AustLII has consolidated acts and regulations for every Australian jurisdiction. For some jurisdictions other materials are available. The following table lists the sources available for each jurisdiction (years indicated are the earliest years available for that source).

==Usage==

Most sources use similar parameters.

In all cases ''jurisdiction'' will be one of Cth (for federal legislation) or [[Australian Capital Territory|ACT]], [[New South Wales|NSW]], [[Northern Territory|NT]], [[Queensland|Qld]], [[South Australia|SA]], [[Tasmania|Tas]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Vic]] or [[Western Australia|WA]] (for state and territory legislation).

The necessary value for the ''short-name'' parameter can be obtained from the AustLII URL (it consists of the initials of the [[short title]], the year, and the number of the item in that year, so if you know this information you can compose the short name that way). As an example, for the ''Copyright Act 1968'' (Cth), for which the URL is [http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/ http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/] the short name is "ca1968133".

; Consolidated acts
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | act | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''section (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
:Where the ''section'' parameter is supplied, a link to that particular section will be produced.
; Acts as they were made (by number)
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | num_act | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''section (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
:Where the ''section'' parameter is supplied, a link to that particular section will be produced.

; Historical acts (Queensland & Victoria)
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | hist_act | ''short-name'' | ''title'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
:Historical acts are pdfs so there is no capacity to link to a particular section.

; Regulations
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | reg | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''regulation (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
:Where the ''regulation'' parameter is supplied, a link to that particular regulation will be produced.

; Regulations As Made
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | num_reg | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''regulation (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
:Where the ''regulation'' parameter is supplied, a link to that particular regulation will be produced.

; Bills
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | bill | ''short-name'' | ''title'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>

; Explanatory memoranda
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | memo | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''number (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
:These are also known as 'explanatory notes' or 'explanatory statements' in some jurisdictions.
:The ''number'' parameter is only required when linking to supplementary memoranda; in most cases it will not be required.

; Repealed acts
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | repealed_act | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''section (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>

; Repealed regulations
<nowiki>{{</nowiki> Cite Legislation AU | ''jurisdiction'' | repealed_reg | ''short-name'' | ''title'' | ''regulation (optional)'' <nowiki>}}</nowiki>
