The Social Welfare (Administration) Act 1977 (No. 9018) amended the Social Welfare Act 1970. The 1977 amendment reflected changes to the administration of the department, for example, the Youth Welfare Division’s name change to Youth Welfare Services, and the abolition of the Family Welfare Division. The Social Welfare (Administration) Act 1977 was repealed by Statute Law Revision (Repeals) Act 1982 (No.9863) on 5/1/1983.
