On 16 March 2009, Cabinet approved a plan to merge the State Supply Commission (SSC) with the Department of Treasury and Finance (now Department of Finance) - as part of the Government's drive to increase the efficiency of the public sector.

All SSC staff and resources have been transferred to Department of Finance and until such time as the State Supply Commission Act 1991 can be formally repealed through parliament, Accountable Authorities will be required to continue to purchase goods and services in accordance with SSC supply policies and comply with the requirements of their partial exemption.

Department of Finance will provide administrative support to the SSC and all SSC enquiries, complaints and communications will be co-ordinated by Department of Finance's Government Procurement (GP) business  unit.  All enquiries should be directed to GP's Procurement Policy and Practice Improvement branch on (08) 6551 1500.
