The Coalition is predicted to win 78 seats in the House of Representatives — a result consecutive opinion polls and political commentators failed to predict.

The seat of Chisholm in Melbourne's east delivered the Coalition its final required seat, with Liberal candidate Gladys Liu winning despite a small swing to the Labor Party.

This seat became vacant when Julia Banks quit the Liberal Party after last year's leadership spill to contest Health Minister Greg Hunt's seat of Flinders as an independent.

Reaching majority government — 76 seats out of 151 — means the Coalition will not have to rely on independent MPs to pass controversial legislation provided no MPs cross the floor.

The Coalition had served as a minority government since November, after Ms Banks quit the party and after former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull resigned to be replaced by independent MP Kerryn Phelps.

The seats of Bass, Cowan, Lilley and Macquarie are still in doubt according to the ABC election computer.

The West Australian seat of Cowan is held by Labor's Ann Aly, who as of 10:55pm (AEST) had 50.5 per cent of the preference count.

In the Tasmanian seat of Bass, Labor MP Ross Hart is trailing Liberal candidate Bridget Archer, who has had a 5.8 per cent swing towards her.

In the seat of Macquarie, Liberal candidate Sarah Richards was leading Labor incumbent Susan Templeman by 151 votes at 10:55pm (AEST).
