Government 2.0 Register

Government 2.0 Register blog post >> Government 2.0 Register

This page provides lists of Australian Government use of social media such as blogs, Twitter and Facebook to support initiatives or their core business.

AGIMO has compiled these lists based on original research and existing resources to provide examples of agency activity in this area. We welcome public contributions to the lists, particularly to add examples not already captured in the lists.

The lists are available on Google Docs and for direct download from this page. Contributions to any of these lists can be made by visiting and editing the Google Docs versions (which does not require a Google account) or by email to gov2@finance.gov.au.

While we will regularly update the downloadable lists on this page to reflect new contributions, the Google Docs versions may be more up-to-date.

Australian Government Initiatives

This list contains examples of government initiatives including social media or other Gov 2.0 aspects:

We are open to the idea of including other examples of agency social media usage in this list. If you have an example which does not fit under any of the below lists, please feel free to add it to this list.

Australian Government blogs (public) list

Australian Government Facebook accounts

Australian Government Twitter accounts

Australian Government RSS feeds

While RSS is not considered to be an example of social media, it has been embraced by Australian Government as a means of quickly disseminating information to the Australian public.

About contributing to the lists

Although AGIMO welcomes public editing and contributions to the lists available as Google Docs, from time to time these documents may contain inappropriate content. We will regularly monitor the lists and edit or remove inappropriate content as quickly as possible — you are also welcome to edit or remove any such content yourself.

The AGIMO Blog’s moderation policy will serve as the basis for any decision we make to edit or remove user-submitted content from the lists.

Other resources

A useful example of a community-created list of Australian Government social media activity, as well as state, territory and local government activity, is available at:
