Construction and development

The HELP project was founded in 1997 by the Federal Ministry of Finance . From 2000 the platform was administered by the Federal Ministry for Public Achievement and Sport  (BMÖLS).

The editorial management was ensured from September 2009 by the Wiener Zeitung . In March 2019, the information offered by HELP.gv.at was transferred to the new e-government application oesterreich.gv.at and has been available there ever since.
