Federal elections were held in Australia on 5 March 1983. All 125 seats in the House of Representatives and all 64 seats in the Senate were up for election following a double dissolution. The incumbent coalition government in power since 1975 led by Malcolm Fraser (Liberal Party of Australia) and Doug Anthony (National Party of Australia) was defeated by the opposition Australian Labor Party led by Bob Hawke.
