The Commonwealth of Australia Gazette is a publication of the Government of Australia, and consists of notices required by Commonwealth law to be published.[1] Types of announcements in the Gazette include, appointments, promotions and transfers of persons to positions in the Australian Public Service (APS), previously "Commonwealth Public Service"; creation, dissolution and renaming of boards, departments and commissions within the APS; conferring of awards and honours to persons and organisations by the Government; calling of tenders and awarding of contracts by the Government.[2]
Since 1 October 2012, the Gazette is no longer physically published or compiled and now only consists of individually searchable notices online.[1] Prior to this, the Gazette was published weekly with each Gazette numbered, with the numbering beginning again at No. 1 each year.[2]
