Submitting a notice to be published in the Gazette

Notices published in the South Australian Government Gazette cover a broad range of government and regulatory matters and most notices are published as a requirement of law.

About our role

Publishing and Online Services are responsible for the publication of notices in the South Australian Government Gazette.
Staff can provide guidance on Gazette publication requirements, notice formatting, submission processes and publication timeframes.
However, we cannot provide legal advice, interpret legislation, or advise whether publication of a notice is required, appropriate or legally compliant.

If you require advice regarding your legal obligations or the content of a notice, you should seek independent legal advice.

Publishing Day

The South Australian Government Gazette is edited, paginated and published on Thursday afternoons.
Except if the Executive Council meeting date changes, then, publication will occur on the day specified by the Council.

Notice Submission Deadline

Notices for inclusion in the Gazette must be emailed before 4 p.m. Tuesday as attachments to governmentgazettesa@sa.gov.au for publication on Thursday.

Supplementary Gazette

A Supplementary Gazette may be published by negotiation with the Manager or other nominated Gazette staff.

Publication of a Supplementary Gazette may be approved:

  • when there is an urgent issue needing to be published, (for example, COVID-19 Emergency Response, a time sensitive matter or other Major Emergency Declaration); or
  • where an extraordinarily large notice is to be published.

Due to the urgent nature of these publications, submission deadlines will be determined on a case-by-case basis

A Supplementary Gazette is not intended to be used as a fallback option where standard Gazette submission deadlines have not been met.
