Finding a Government Department

The most common method of finding a unit is to enter:

and then press the search button.

This will return a list of all the units matching the request.

From the result choose one of the results to get further details, by clicking on the hyperlink Unit name. If you select the wrong result either:

  • press the back button on your browser to return to the list, or
  • select refine search (which is at the bottom of the page) to return to the search page.

To limit the search enter more details into individual fields (ie telephone number, location).

The system will cater for obvious errors:

  • spelling
  • former names of the unit
  • contact numbers
