Ministerial Websites

Mandatory

Ministerial websites come in two forms: sites presenting the Minister on behalf of the department and the Minister's personal site presenting affiliations with political parties and ideals. These sites must be differentiated from one another and from the Departmental site even though they may share similar content.

Why Must I?

In accordance with the Values in the APS as set out in section 10 of the Public Service Act 1999, agencies are required to be impartial and apolitical.

How Do I?

See the:

• Guidelines for Ministerial and Departmental Websites
• Application of the Australian Government Design: Ministerial websites

Specific guidelines apply before elections - Guidance on Caretaker Conventions - (PDF 187kb) (Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet).
