The harder part - the real part - starts now.

After their victorious election campaigns, the territory's newest parliamentarians headed to class on Thursday, put through a crash course in being a politician in the ACT's hall of power in preparation for when the real thing starts in the coming weeks.

Speaker Joy Burch welcomed the class of 2020, which includes five Greens, two Liberals and one Labor member, and presented each with their special member's badge.

ACT Legislative Assembly clerk Tom Duncan ran the new members through their pay and entitlements - and how to use them appropriately.

The new members were lectured on ethics and integrity in public office, before ACT Integrity Commissioner Dennis Cowdroy and chief executive John Hoitink laid down the law about serious and systemic corruption, and the mandatory reporting obligations of MLAs and their staff.

"It was actually really good to see that the Assembly is trying to make it as easy as possible for us to be ethical and do the right thing," said Emma Davidson, the new Greens member in Murrumbidgee.

On their second and final day of MLA school on Friday, the new members will be given a tour of the Legislative Assembly building before being schooled on the logistics of sitting days, committee work and procedures and practices inside the chamber.

They'll participate in some political role-playing, acting out the process of passing legislation, moving motions and engaging in question time.

Johnathan Davis, the Greens' new member in the southern suburbs electorate of Brindabella, said he'd been wrestling with a "healthy" mix of excitement, anxiety, preparedness and concern since his election victory was confirmed late last week.

"If I'm honest it is anxiety [which is the overriding emotion] ... anything less than anxiety lacks humility," he said. "There are 61,713 people that I now represent, and their hopes, dreams and aspirations for their suburb, community and city will be in large part determined by the work I do in this office in the next four years.

"If that doesn't make you nervous then I think you're a little too confident."
