The normal procedure with corporate bodies is to put a comma at the end of the name when you enter it in your EndNote library, e.g. Education Queensland,

This alerts EndNote to the fact that this is the name of an organisation, and not a person. EndNote will now be able to format the reference correctly.

However, when the corporate body contains one or more internal commas, you replace the first of those commas with two commas, and omit the comma at the end, e.g. U.S. Department of Justice,, Bureau of Justice Statistics

This should produce a properly formatted bibliography. This is because EndNote thinks that the part of the name up to the two commas is a surname, and that the part of the name after the commas is an addition to a name, like “Jr.”

Note that this technique may create problems with the in-text citations. If the output style is configured to insert the last name only in the in-text citation, the corporate author in the above example would appear in the in-text citation in the form (U.S. Department of Justice, 1995) instead of (U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1995). However the entry in the bibliography at the end of the document should show the full name. In this case, you could edit the citation in the text to exclude the author, and then insert the correct form of the name as a prefix to the citation.
