The new Labor Government will need to win the support of Upper House minor parties to pass legislation, after they claimed almost a third of the Victoria's legislative council.

Labor has secured 14 seats in the Legislative Council, down from 16 in the previous parliament.

The Liberals will enter the new parliament with 14 Upper House seats, after losing four spots in the election.

Victoria's Upper House: Labor Party: 14

Labor Party: 14 Liberal Party: 14

Liberal Party: 14 Australian Greens: 5

Australian Greens: 5 National Party: 2

National Party: 2 Shooters and Fishers Party: 2

Shooters and Fishers Party: 2 Australian Sex Party: 1

Australian Sex Party: 1 Democratic Labour Party: 1

Democratic Labour Party: 1 Vote 1 Local Jobs Party: 1

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews will need to convince at least seven crossbenchers to support his policy before it will pass into law.

The Greens won two extra seats, and will have five sitting members in the legislative council, while the National Party will hold two seats, down from three.

Also taking their place in the Parliament will be the Shooters and Fishers Party, who won two seats, and the Democratic Labour Party, the Australian Sex Party and the Vote 1 Local Jobs Party, who each secured one new Upper House position.

The new mix of minor parties represented a marked departure from the previous council, where the Coalition held 21 seats in the 40-seat chamber, with the rest held by Labor and the Greens.

The Australian Sex Party wins its first seat

Fiona Patten, who established the Australian Sex Party four years ago, said she would go into Parliament "honoured and a little bit nervous".

Ms Patten said Victorians should not be fearful of a dysfunctional Upper House at the hands of the minor parties.

"I don't think anyone is going in with that intention. I hope that many of us have learned from what we've seen at that federal level," Ms Patten said.

"I think it also is very important for the small parties to prove ... that we can operate cooperatively and that we can provide greater debate and transparency, which is what a good Upper House should be doing."

Ms Patten said she would recognise the Government's mandate and approach each piece of legislation on its merit.

"However, I was elected on a platform of progressive policies that I will be pushing to achieve," she said.

Ms Patten said her top priority over the next four years would be to legalise voluntary euthanasia in Victoria.

She said she would push the Government to go further on medical marijuana and law reform, but she tentatively supported the Government's position on the East West Link.

"I totally agree that the tunnel should not be our first priority. I'd like the opportunity to have a really close look at the business model, which I've not yet done.

"But we do need infrastructure in this state, and we do need a second river crossing over in the west."

Shooters and Fishers Party wants review of firearm laws

Jeffrey Bourman, who will represent Shooters and Fishers for eastern Victoria, said he would use the balance of power to push for a review of Victoria's gun laws.

"Initially what I want to see is a review of our current firearm laws, and their actual effectiveness," Mr Bourman told 774 ABC Melbourne.

The party won two seats in the Upper House, with Daniel Young also picking up a seat in northern Victoria.

Mr Bourman has drawn criticism for saying that none of Australia's gun laws had stopped the scenes that have unfolded in Sydney since Monday.

He said he was not suggesting that Australia needed more guns.

"I'm not for stronger or weaker firearm laws, I'm for effective firearm laws," he said.

Mr Bourman said he did not intend to form a formal voting block with any of the other minor parties.

"As minor parties, we are going to have to talk amongst themselves, and on some issues we will agree and on some we won't and we'll just have to deal with that," he said.

He said the Shooters and Fishers Party would work with the Government the best they could.

"I have no desire to be at odds with the Government unless it's something we really believe in," he said.

"They're there to govern the state, and as part of the Upper House you're there for the checks and balances routine."

Independent to push for regional job creation, renewable energy

Vote 1 Local Jobs Party candidate James Purcell - who is Mayor of Moyne Shire Council in the state's south-west - said he would enter Parliament with an open mind.

"From my point of view, I believe the Government's formed in the Lower House and they should be supported. The only reason I wouldn't do that is if it was to the detriment of western Victoria," Mr Purcell said.

"But I do believe the Government has been given a mandate, and quite a significant mandate, and from my point of view I think they should be supported with that."

Mr Purcell said he would meet other crossbenchers, but had "no intention" of forming a voting block with any other minor parties.

"Our plan was always quite simple: if we were to get elected we were going to get elected without owing anything to anyone, that's why I 100 per cent funded our campaign," he said.

"We're just going to do what we can for creating jobs, and particularly jobs for western Victoria."

He said he was a strong supporter of a state renewable energy target (RET) to encourage stability for the wind farm industry and create jobs in his region.

"The noises coming out of Canberra aren't good enough, so it's time the Victorian Government stepped up and put a Victorian RET in place," he said.

"You would certainly hope it is bipartisan, so that the wind industry, or the renewable energy industry knows that there's some certainty no matter who is elected to Government."

Mr Purcell said he would also be pushing for jumps horse racing to continue in Victoria, while pushing for Melbourne's Grand Prix to be defunded.
