A new Government led by the Leader of the Australian Labor Party, the Hon Kevin Rudd MP, was sworn in by the Governor-General on 3 December 2007.
The Government has announced the creation of a new Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations www.deewr.gov.au. Existing information relating to the former Department of Employment and Workplace Relations can be located at www.dewr.gov.au.
Our website has changed
The Department has introduced its new website on 6 December 2008 (www.deewr.gov.au) which is the first step in creating a single publishing and access point for portfolio information.
The new design provides a richer source of information and news than our current internet presence.
Several programs have already been migrated into the new site and others will continue to be migrated. Please visit www.deewr.gov.au for current information.
Your feedback is welcome and will help further shape the site in the future.
