Accessing essential services

Helping you access essential services

There's a lot of information on the South Australian Government website, and the site helps make finding what you want easier, by grouping services in categories like Driving and transport and Housing.

To see these categories, scroll down the www.sa.gov.au homepage. You'll see a grid of categories.

Click a category to open a panel that lists the services in this category. Then click any service to access it.

eSafety tip

Some of the services you can select on www.sa.gov.au, are actually hosted on other government websites.

For example, if you are renewing your registration on www.sa.gov.au, and click Start now, the page will update and the web address will change to account.ezyreg.sa.gov.au.

If you decide not to proceed and want to return to www.sa.gov.au, click the Back button in your web browser.
