The Department of Foreign Affairs was created by Executive Council Minute No PSB 1972/47 of 6 November 1970. The functions of this Department were previously carried out by the Department of External Affairs [II] (CA 18) and the minute quoted above changed its name to that of the Department of Foreign Affairs without major functional changes (Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No 98, 6 November 1970).
 
In 1975 the Department of Foreign Affairs was responsible for (as set out in Australian Government Directory, 1975, pp 150-151):
 
 (a) The control and management of Australian Embassies, High 
     Commissions, Consulates and similar permanent missions abroad 
     having diplomatic and consular status.

     Australian Government and foreign diplomatic missions and

     Government departments and authorities to overseas missions and

     various organs of the United Nations and the Specialised
     Agencies associated with the United Nations and with the

     issues these include questions of trusteeship, international
     relief and rehabilitiation, and international economic and
     cultural relations.
 (h) To act as a co-ordinating authority and channel for Australian 
     participation which includes co-operation with several
     Australian Government and State Governments and authorities.  
(i) Supervision over Australian participation in international 
    conferences with a view to ensure co-ordination in policy and 
     economy in representation.
 (j) Acting as the liaison between the United Nations and Australian 
     non-governmental bodies.

     Security Treaty between Australia, New Zealand and the United 
     States.

     the work of other agencies of government and non-government
     bodies in the external cultural relations fields.
 
Most of the above functions were inherited by Department of Foreign Affairs from the Department of External Affairs [II] on 6 November 1970. In 1972, the Department of Foreign Affairs assumed control of the High Commissioner's Office, London (CA 241) which was previously controlled by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (CA 1401) (notified in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No 99A, 25 October 1972); in 1973 residual responsibilities relating to the newly independent Papua New Guinea were transferred from the
Department of External Territories [II] (CA 1284) (notified in the Australian Government Gazette, No 183, 30 November 1973); in October 1974 the Overseas Property Bureau was moved from the Department of Services and Property (CA 1488) to the control of the Department of Foreign Affairs (notified in the Australian Government Gazette, No 80B, 2 October 1974) and in December 1975 the Bureau was once again moved, now to the Department of Administrative Services [II] (CA 1964)(Australian Government Gazette, No S262, 22 December 1975).
 
In November 1974 a reorganization of the structure of the Department was brought into effect. The structure of the Department changed from emphasis on workloads based on geographical proximity and historical relationships between countries, to reflect the problem areas, issues and tasks which the Department is called on to analyse and perform (for further details see Australian Department of Foreign Affairs Annual Report, 1974, pp 85-88, Appendix II).
