2022 caretaker arrangements

Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources

Now that the Australian federal election has been announced, the Australian Government takes a caretaker role.

The caretaker period continues until the election result is clear. If there is a change of government, caretaker lasts until the new government is appointed.

During the caretaker period, we cannot use Australian Government resources to communicate political material. We will only share essential information on our websites and social media profiles.
