Summary

The Health and Home Affairs Department was established in 1935 after the abolition of the Home Secretaries Office. The Health and Home Affairs Department was responsible for a wide array of government services. These included the running of government institutions like hospitals, prisons, and aged care facilities as well as the provision of services associated with the health, welfare and justice departments of more recent governments like food hygiene inspection, medical research, fire brigades, policing, liquor licencing, and orphanages. In 1963 there was a major restructure resulting in the creation of the Queensland Department of Health (1963 - 2012) and the distribution of the non-medical functions of the Health and Home Affairs Department (1935 - 1963) across various other Government entities.

"... the rengitj, as a visible mark or imprint on the land, is characterised as a place of origin, the repository of all names, as well as a kind of mapped visual expression of the connection between people and places which is to be carried out in the temporal sequence of the journey."
