South Australian Government

The Government of South Australia, also referred to as the South Australian Government, SA Government or Her Majesty’s Government is the Australian state democratic administrative authority of South Australia. The Government of South Australia, a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, was formed in 1856 as prescribed in its Constitution, as amended from time to time. Since the Federation of Australia in 1901, South Australia has been a state of the Commonwealth of Australia, and the Constitution of Australia regulates its relationship with the Commonwealth. Under the Australian Constitution, South Australia ceded legislative and judicial supremacy to the Commonwealth, but retained powers in all matters not in conflict with the Commonwealth.

SA.GOV.AU is the best place for South Australian citizens and businesses to find government services and information. The site is managed by Office for Digital Government in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. We work with the rest of government to make things clear, simple and easy. It's a big task, and many people from every department work with us to link up government services and present things in a consistent way using plain language. Our standards and guidance support this work.
