What is the purpose of the Regional Entry Point (REP)?

The Regional Entry Point helps you find details of government services and programs without having to know the name of the department, agency or sphere of government providing the program or service. It does this by using a simple keyword search to pinpoint the service or program you require in your state.

What type of content will I find linked to REP?

REP is a directory of Australian, state and local government services and programs. It links to information about government programs and services for individuals, families, communities, farms and businesses in rural, regional and remote Australia. The content is sourced from material published on existing government websites that are either a portal, provide a service or are functionally oriented. For example, you will find websites such as www.passports.gov.au and www.seniors.gov.au, plus specific links to information for veterans, migrants, Indigenous communities and youth.

You will find a wide range of current and topical information about state, local and Australian government services and programs which are of particular value to Australians in rural, regional and remote locations. You will also find information about government business enterprises or non-government organisations with a significant role in rural, regional or remote Australia e.g. Telstra, the ABC and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Nearly all of the content will be linked to websites in the .gov.au domain in accordance with policies established for whole of government portals.
