Cabinet of Victoria

The Cabinet of Victoria oversees Victoria's executive branch of Government. Ministers of the cabinet undertake extra responsibilities inline with their portfolio area and are responsible for the subordinate government departments relevant to their ministry positions.[1]

Current arrangement
This section is an excerpt from Third Andrews ministry § Third Andrews ministry, 2022–present.[edit]

The cabinet composition of the first arrangement of the Third Andrews Ministry was first announced on 2 December 2022. As a result of the defection of seven MPs from the Labor Right to Andrew's Labor Left faction, Shaun Leane from the previous ministry was removed from cabinet by the caucus.[2] In compensation, Leane would be nominated as the President of the Legislative Council in the upcoming parliament. Jaala Pulford from the previous ministry retired at the 2022 election, creating a vacancy in the cabinet. In their places, Enver Erdogan and Natalie Suleyman were promoted to the cabinet.[3]

The ministerial portfolios were then announced on 5 December 2022, with ministers (except Harriet Shing) sworn in that day.[4] Shing was sworn in on 14 December when her re-election to the Legislative Council was declared and finalised, with Andrews holding on to her portfolios in the interim.[5]
