Australian Electoral Commission
If you are an Australian citizen 18 years or over, and have no real place of living, you may be eligible to enrol as a person with no fixed address.
You can apply if you are:
Select the Enrolment for persons with no fixed address form for your state or territory from the list below.
To complete this form you will need to enrol:
Choose the state or territory form for the address/division where you are applying to enrol, even if it is not where you are currently living. This form will enrol you to vote in federal, state/territory and most local government elections.
If you are unsure contact your local AEC office for further information.
It is not compulsory to enrol or vote if you are a person with no fixed address and you will not be fined. However, you can and are encouraged to enrol and vote if you wish to.
The AEC wants to help every eligible Australian to enrol and vote. If you want to enrol now, but haven't been enrolled or voted in the past, you will not be fined.
If you are registered as a person with no fixed address, only your name and division will appear on the electoral roll. The roll is available for public viewing at any AEC office.
Under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, your information may be made available to members of parliament, political parties, medical researchers and public health screening programs, certain government agencies and other electoral authorities. See the relevant no fixed address enrolment form below, for more details.
If you establish a permanent place of living in Australia and live there for a period of one month, you must enrol to vote as an ordinary elector.
Homeless people who live in crisis or transitional accommodation can continue to be enrolled as a person with no fixed address as long as they remain in this accommodation.
