Department of Aboriginal Affairs

The former Department of Aboriginal Affairs is now part of the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. The department is an amalgamation of the former departments of Planning, Lands, the State Heritage Office and the land and heritage functions of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, and was formed as a result of the changes to the public sector announced by the State Government in April 2017.
