Administrative Arrangement Orders
The Administrative Arrangements Order or AAO is a document made by the Governor-General. It sets out the matters and Acts dealt with by each Department of State and its Minister(s). AAOs are not legislative instruments and are published by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Copies of almost all AAOs published since 1901 can be found on the Federal Register of Legislation.
