Gazettes advise the public of the decisions made by parliament and the various government departments and instrumentalities. They contain information on public service appointments and promotions, public holidays, dates when new legislation will come into effect, bankruptcy notices, tender notices, details of re-organisation of government departments, etc. Volumes of the Australian and New South Wales government gazettes are located in the Law Library Compactus. 

The Capital monitor database includes items from the Commonwealth and State Government gazettes.
