澳大利亚联邦宪法第二条规定，在澳大利亚应有总督，总督代表君主代行国家元首职务。

澳大利亚联邦总督是澳大利亚君主（现任君主为查尔斯三世国王）在联邦以及国家层面的澳大利亚代表。总督的职能和作用包括任命大使、部长和法官，对立法给予王室批准，发布选举令状和授勋。总督是联邦执行委员会的主席和澳大利亚国防军的总司令。 ^[1]所有这些职位都是在澳大利亚联邦宪法的授权下担任。

任期由国王决定，通常为五年。

A Governor-General appointed by the Queen shall be Her Majesty’s representative in the Commonwealth, and shall have and may exercise in the Commonwealth during the Queen's pleasure, but subject to this Constitution, such powers and functions of the Queen as Her Majesty may be pleased to assign to him.
