Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has become the first Australian leader to win a second consecutive three-year term in 21 years.
The Australian Electoral Commission's projections gave Albanese's ruling centre-left Labor Party 70 seats and the conservative opposition coalition 24 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, the lower chamber where parties need a majority to form governments.
Unaligned minor parties and independent candidates appeared likely to win 13 seats.
In his victory speech, Albanese said: "And it is with a deep sense of humility and a profound sense of responsibility, that the first thing that I do tonight is to say thank you to the people of Australia for the chance to continue to serve the best nation on Earth. And I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land. And I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging, today and every day. Today, the Australian people have voted for Australian values. For fairness, aspiration and opportunity for all."
Beaten opposition leader Peter Dutton said: "Now, we didn't do well enough during this campaign, that much is obvious tonight, and I accept full responsibility for that. Earlier on, I called the Prime Minister to congratulate him on his success tonight. It's an historic occasion for the Labor Party and we recognise that."
