It is located in the upper North Shore, and includes the suburbs of Chatswood, Killara, St Ives and Wahroonga. It is one of the safest seats in the country for the Liberal Party. Bradfield's first member was Billy Hughes, a former Prime Minister of Australia and the last serving member of the first federal Parliament.
