The Public Sector Commission

The Office of e-Government (OeG) is now part of the newly created Public Sector Commission (PSC). The PSC website can be accessed via this URL: www.publicsector.wa.gov.au. Until the new website is finalised information will remain current and continue to be available on the former OeG website. As content and services are transitioned into the PSC site, redirect notices will be placed on the OeG site so that any bookmarks you may have can be updated.

If you would like more information about the move, please contact us.
