Welcome to the Human Services Portfolio Portal
The Human Services Portfolio is about people and the services we may need at different stages of our lives.
It consists of the Portfolio Department—including the Core Department, the Child Support Agency and CRS Australia—and the Portfolio agencies, Centrelink, Medicare Australia, Australian Hearing and the HSA Group.
Together the Portfolio Department and the Portfolio agencies work to improve government social and health-related services to all Australians.
