The Attorney-General's Department delivers programs and policies to maintain and improve Australia's law and justice framework. Through the Australian Government Solicitor, we also provide legal services to the Commonwealth (including legal advice and representation).
Our department is the central policy and coordinating element of the Attorney-General's portfolio.
Our department is structured into four groups:
• Australian Government Solicitor
• Justice and Communities
• Integrity and Security
• Enabling Services.
