WORKSHEET 3
There are three levels of governments in Australia; each has different powers and responsibilities although sometimes these overlap.
FEDERAL
The Federal Government is responsible for running the country as a whole, and for matters that concern Australia as a nation rather than as individuals. It was formed in 1901 at Australias Federation.
STATE/TERRITORY
State & Territory Governments are responsible for matters which are best dealt with at that level. Being a territory, the Northern Territory has different powers (more limited) to the States.
LOCAL
The states and territories are divided into city and shire councils who look after the particular needs of their city or local community. Local government members are called councillors.
Using the pictures and letters provided, write in the responsibilities for each level of government.
