Government publications

Australian Government Publications Register

Australian Government departments and agencies produce a wide range of publications but finding out what is published and where it can be found is difficult without an understanding of the Government's administrative structures.
This Publications Register allows you to search departments and agencies by subject category, or to search by department or agency name and then link to publications.
The Register also provides access to a range of resources, such as the National Library of Australia's catalogue, Parliamentary resources and legislation databases.
