  • Archived Gazettes from 2 September 2010 onwards will be available from www.jobs.act.gov.au/archivedgazettes
  • Archived Gazettes prior to that date and any gazettes not related to employment matters will still be available from http://www.gazettes.act.gov.au/
  • RSS Feeds:  To make sure you never miss an employment opportunity, the ACT Jobs Website provides a number of RSS feeds that you can subscribe to, including:
  • The RSS feed is always up-to-date and can be subscribed to using Outlook or Explorer. 
    RSS feeds can also be added to Agency Intranets.

What’s Happening to the Old Gazette.

Special and non-Employment related Gazettes will still be available from www.gazettes.act.gov.au.

What’s Ending?

  • From 2 September 2010 onwards, the gazette located at http://www.gazettes.act.gov.au will no longer contain any employment related notices.

How do I get an RSS reader?

To subscribe to a Web feed you will need an RSS reader.  There is a range of different news readers available and new versions are appearing all the time.  Different RSS readers work on different operating systems, so you will need to choose one that will work with your computer.

Once you have chosen your RSS reader you can select a Web feed in a couple of different ways, including:

  • Drag the URL of the news feed into your news reader
  • Cut and paste the URL of the news feed into your news reader

If Internet Explorer 7 is your prefered browser, it automatically detects news feeds. When a news feed is present you should see an RSS feed button RSS icon highlighted in your toolbar.
