This series contains volumes that were released to Families SA by the Library of the Department for Families and Communities in 2008, being surplus to its requirements. The organisations responsible for these volumes were predecessors of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs which was amalgamated with the Social Welfare Department from 1 July 1970. The amalgamated agency was called the Department of Social Welfare and Aboriginal Affairs, and in 1972 it was re-named the Department for Community Welfare, which was a predecessor of Families SA.

Chronological system of arrangement.

Annual reports are also published as Parliamentary Papers located in the Gepps Cross Research Centre or academic libraries.
