Gazettes·National

Gazette search

Every national Government Gazette the Government Printing Works lists online, from 20 May 2016 to today: who published it, when, and its own link. We have read the contents of 439 Gazettes so far: each of their notices is listed with its number, title and kind, and a draft’s closing date where it prints one, and our copy opens. For the rest we list the Gazette and link to it. To search the words inside them, use document search.

What is in it, and what is not

  • Every national Gazette GPW lists online. Its number, date and publisher come from GPW’s own listing of its files, read under our own name. GPW’s online archive starts in 2016; older issues are not online.
  • Notices only where we hold the Gazette. GPW’s listing names the publisher, not the notices inside. We list a Gazette’s notices when we hold GPW’s own copy (the same bytes as GPW’s file) and read its contents page: number, title, the heading it sits under and its first page.
  • Kinds are read from the notice. A number starting “R.” is a regulation; a title or text that asks for comment on a draft or a proposal is a draft for comment; the rest are notices. Acts and proclamations as printed.
  • The department is GPW’s, read. GPW names each file with a short label (“ForFishEnv”, “EmploymentLabour”); we turn it into the department’s name. For a notice we hold, it is the heading the notice is printed under.
  • Withdrawn files are kept. When GPW withdraws a file, the entry says so.
