History
The Department of Home Affairs [II] was created by Executive Council Minute of 10 December 1928 and gazetted on 13 December 1928
(Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. 136 of 13 December 1928 p 3465). Its creation was in reality a change in name from The Department of Home and Territories (CA 15) whose functions were transferred almost intact.
The functions of the Department of Home and Territories were transferred to the Department of Home Affairs [II] in entirety, with the exception of those relating to the Territory of New Guinea, Papua and Norfolk Island, which went to the Departments of the Prime Minister and External Affairs.
