移民局DIAC -- Department of Immigration and Citizenship (2007 – 2013)这个代号从2007年开始到现在,已经被使用了6个年头,但是最近特别是今年,在船民问题是闹出了不少大事件,导致DIAC整个工作的重心似乎更多的倾向于在Border Protection(国境保护)方面了,于是乎,DIAC移民局索性要把部门的整个名称改成DIBP - Department of Immigration and Border Protection (2013 - )

澳洲因为人口少所以不像中国每个领域都有专门的一个部来进行相应的管理,多数情况下是多个部合而为一,比如:Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development,Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism,Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations还有我们最熟悉的Department of Immigration and Border Protection~顺便说一下,船民控制的好。。。
