Subject Index to South Australian Legislation

This index to the subject matter of South Australian legislation is an index to the principal public Acts of South Australia. 

The Index is based on a set of guidelines developed by a working party of the Australian Law Librarians' Association (SA Division) in accordance with standard indexing principles.

Links are provided from the Act titles to the legislation on the SA Attorney-General's 'South Australian Legislation' web site at www.legislation.sa.gov.au.

Paper copies of the Acts referred to in the Index can be purchased from the Service SA customer service centre located in the EDS Centre, 108 North Tce.

Subject Headings

The subject headings used in this index have been developed according to standard thesaurus principles and the terms and concepts found in South Australian legislation. Existing indexes such as the Index to Subject Matter of Victorian Legislation 1999 (Office of Chief Parliamentary Counsel Victoria 1999) were consulted when compiling the initial Thesaurus.

Background to the Index

The Subject Index to South Australian Legislation is a collaborative effort of the Australian Law Librarians' Association (SA Division) which has made an ongoing commitment to ensure the Index is regularly updated and maintained.

The compilation of the original index was made possible through a generous grant from the Law Foundation of South Australia Incorporated.

The team of volunteers now working on the project comprises of a group of experienced South Australian law librarians:
