Parliament House, Sydney is a group of heritage-listed buildings which houses the Parliament of the state of New South Wales. The main building is located on the east side of Macquarie Street in Sydney, the capital of New South Wales. The façade consists of a two-storey Georgian building, the oldest public building in the City of Sydney, flanked by two neo-gothic additions containing the parliamentary chambers. These buildings are linked to a 1970s twelve-storey office block at the rear, facing onto the Domain. It is also variously known as the Parliament of New South Wales, Parliamentary Precinct and the Rum Hospital.

Built with the initial purpose of a public hospital, unlike the parliamentary buildings of Australia's other capital cities, Sydney's Parliament House is not grand in its architectural appearance. Several plans for a new building have been unveiled in the past, but none have come to fruition. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 19 April 2002.^[1]
