Summary

The Department of Health and Community Services [l] began in 1987 when health and community services, which had been the responsibility of two different departments, were brought together.

In 1995 health functions were separated again when the Territory Health Services was established. The two functions came together again in 2001 and a second version of the Department of Health and Community Services was formed.
