Members of the Victorian Legislative Council, 1961–1964

This is a list of members of the Victorian Legislative Council between 1961 and 1964. As half of the Legislative Council's terms expired at each triennial election, half of these members were elected at the 1958 triennial election with terms expiring in 1964, while the other half were elected at the 1961 state election with terms expiring in 1967.

The 1961 election was the first conjoint election for the Legislative Assembly and half of the Legislative Council; from that point forward, the triennial election for the Council and the general election for the Assembly would always be held on the same day, although this was not provided for automatically until 1984.[1]
