About the site:
What is www.gov.au?
www.gov.au is the Australian whole-of-government entry point. In its current release, the site provides links to the ten entry points for the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local governments. The site will be developed over time to allow full search and retrieval capabilities across all levels of government and all government sites.
The site was initially created to implement the GOVERNET architecture, an initiative of the Online Council of Ministers. GOVERNET was a cooperative project that aimed to provide access to government information and services across Australian, State, Territory and Local levels.
The site's design and floral emblems:
This site has been developed with useability and accessibility principles as the main drivers for design.
The floral emblem of each political jurisdiction appears when your cursor is placed over the jurisdiction's name. The photographs were sourced from Floral Emblems of Australia. The Australian National Botanic Gardens site also provides further information on each floral emblem.
