Since 1984, federal electoral division boundaries in Australia have been determined at redistributions by a redistribution committee appointed by the Australian Electoral Commission. Redistributions occur for the boundaries of divisions in a particular state, and they occur every seven years, or sooner if a state's representation entitlement changes or when divisions of a state are malapportioned.[1]
The Division of Hume is located between southwestern Sydney and the border with the Australian Capital Territory. It includes the regional city of Goulburn and surrounding towns. It contains four local government areas: the Cowra Shire, the Goulburn Mulwaree Council, the Upper Lachlan Shire and parts of the Hilltops Council.

The current Member for Hume, since the 2013 federal election, is Angus Taylor, a member of the Liberal Party of Australia.
