Australian Government Publishing Service

In 1997 the production facilities of AGPS, including the Commonwealth Government Printing Office, was closed down. The business was sold to CanPrint Communications Pty Ltd.

After the sale, the printing, publishing and distribution was the responsibility of each individual government department or agency.^[3]

The few remaining functions of AGPS were taken over by its successor, AusInfo, part of the then new Department of Finance and Administration.^[4] The AusInfo website has been archived via a webpage snapshot on Trove.^[5]
