List of New South Wales government agencies

Logo of the New South Wales Government and its agencies.

The executive branch of the Government of New South Wales, Australia, is made up of a number of departments, state-owned corporations and other agencies. These are identified in the Government Sector Employment Act 2013 and other legislation. In 2009, most State government agencies – which at the time numbered more than 100 – were restructured into 13 'super agencies' or clusters.[1] This number has since been reduced to 10.[2][3]

Agency types

The Government is made up of:

  • departments, which are the lead agencies in each cluster
  • executive agencies, which are agencies related to departments
  • separate agencies, which operate independently of departments but can still be within clusters
  • statutory authorities, which are established under legislation but sit outside clusters
  • state-owned corporations
  • subsidiaries of the NSW Government established under the Corporations Act
  • councils under the Local Government Act
  • universities.

There are also a number of advisory boards and committees, though these are not agencies in their own right.[4]

Clusters

The NSW Public Sector employs more than 325,000 people (full-time equivalent), almost all of whom work within one of the 10 clusters.[5]
