Types of Sites

There are specific requirements for some types of websites.

Caretaker Conventions

In the period preceding an election, the Australian Government assumes a caretaker role. During the caretaker period agencies are required to undertake additional steps when managing their websites.

Ministerial Websites

Ministerial websites can represent the Minister on behalf of the department or be a personal Ministerial website representing affiliations with political parties and ideals.

Intranets

An intranet is a private network which is deployed within an organisation. Intranets are primarily used to share information with internal staff.

Transactional Websites

Transactional websites allow information, communication and business transactions to be conducted using electronic and internet technology.

Whole-of-Government Websites and Portals

Whole-of-government websites provide a single point of access to a range of resources that are developed and maintained by many government agencies.
