Australian Government Departments

As your Federal member I have continued to build over the years, a good understanding of how government departments work. This is particularly helpful in trying to sort through enquiries on your behalf.

The Australian Government has responsibility for:

> Social Security and Centrelink
> Defence and Veterans’ Affairs
> Airports
> Taxation
> Telecommunications
> Immigration
> Job Services Australia
> Customs and Quarantine
> Foreign Affairs and Passports
> Health and Medicare

and many more (click on any of the agencies listed in blue to visit their site). Click here to enter into the main portal for the Australian Government websites. The portal is an excellent resource to find the various government departments online. There is an immense amount of information including contact details, forms and explanations. You can click on each of the departments I have listed above and go straight to their sites.
