Approximately 4700 rooms: you have too go there to find out for sure. This is for the recent AUSTRALIAN parliament.
Here is some other info:
Parliament House was opened in 1927 and in its early years was the social, geographic and political heart of Canberra. Australia's Parliament House is designed to help members of parliament carry out their responsibilities with the support of hundreds of people who work in the building.

Each year, about one million people visit the building which houses the Parliament of Australia. This large structure sits at the apex of Capital Hill in the centre of Canberra-Australia's national capital. The building was designed by architects Mitchell, Giurgola and Thorp, and opened in 1988. The flagpole that straddles the building has become a symbol of the Parliament and of Canberra.
Parliaments are unique. They are not like office blocks or law courts or convention centres. A parliament must do four basic things and the building must be designed to allow these four things to happen. The members of a parliament must be able to:
1. represent people
2. make laws
3. scrutinise the government
4. form a government from elected parliamentarians.
Australia's modern Parliament House was planned to facilitate these functions. All four functions of parliament take place in the House of Representatives and Senate chambers as well as other rooms. There are many other activities that take place in the federal Parliament such as radio and television broadcasting and printing reports and other documents.
