The New South Wales Government (NSW Government) is made up of a number of departments, state-owned corporations and other agencies. The NSW Public Service is organised under the Government Sector Employment Act 2013, with public bodies organised under various legislation. In 2009, most of the 100+ government organisations were restructured into 13 'super agencies' or clusters.[1] This number was subsequently reduced to ten clusters in 2013;[2] and in July 2019 following the 2019 state election, it was further reduced to eight clusters.[3] A new cluster for Regional NSW was created in April 2020, increasing to nine clusters;[4][5] and a further cluster, Enterprise, Investment and Trade, established on 21 December 2021, in the second Perrottet ministry.[6]
