Agency List Inquiry

The HR eXpert Agency List Inquiry allows you to access a comprehensive Agency List which provides details of past and present NSW government agencies. Commonwealth agencies and those from other states are also included. Note that local government agencies, universities and other tertiary institutions are not included as service with these agencies is not recognised. The list is not exhaustive. If your agency is not included you should check with your HR area.

The primary use of the Agency List is to determine eligibility for Extended Leave for NSW government employees under the Public Sector Employment and Management Act (PSEMA). However, it is an excellent resource which provides detailed information about agencies which can be used for many other purposes.

You can search the list to find individual agencies, using any of the many names they are known by. This will provide details of the agency and allow you to track them over time by identifying their predecessors and successors. You can also download an excel spreadsheet which contains details of all agencies in the list.

Basic Search

SEARCH HINT: When searching for an agency, use the agency name without Department of, Office of, etc (eg type Community Services not Department of Community Services)

The Agency List will be updated on a continual basis. If you know of a government employer which is not in the list, your feedback would be appreciated. Please email as much information about the agency as possible to hrexpert@premiers.nsw.gov.au
