Government News is unique - it is the only independent magazine in Australia providing comprehensive coverage of all three spheres of government: federal, state and local. In 2005, the magazine celebrated its 25th year of publishing to government, marking the special occasion with a fresh, bold new design.
Government News is relied upon by readers to give essential information on how the public sector works and how it is evolving. It offers special sections each month covering news; features; ICT; security; environment; health; innovation; management; procurement; public works; roads and transport.
Reader feedback indicates the magazine allows them to keep up-to-date on the workings of government tiers outside their own; offers best practice examples which can be adapted for use; and reveals the critical trends and developments that may impact the public sector.
