1 South Australian Liberal Senator Jeannie Ferris was elected at the 1996 election, but there was initially some concern that she may have been ineligible to take her seat, as she had been working for Senator Nick Minchin at the time of her election, and it had been suggested that this constituted holding an office under the crown. In order to remove any risk of her election being overturned, she resigned and was subsequently reappointed to her own vacancy.

5 New South Wales Liberal Senator Dr Bob Woods resigned in 1997. Marise Payne was appointed as his replacement on April 8.
6 Victorian Liberal Senator Jim Short resigned in 1997. Karen Synon was appointed as his replacement on May 13.
