Since the 1983 election was a double dissolution, the Senators shown under "1983" are the long-term Senators elected at that election. Since the Senate was enlarged from 64 to 76 Senators at this election, each state elected seven Senators at this election, one of whom was elected for a three-year term. The "Other" was an Independent.
