Queensland Machinery of Government Changes

Following the Cabinet reshuffle announced by Premier Annastasia Palaszczuk last week the Queensland public service has been restructured accordingly.

These changes reflected changes to the ‘Machinery of Government’.

As a rule, each Minister has a single Department and Director-General to whom all the relevant divisions of a portfolio report.

There have been significant changes to departments, as well as the creation of an entirely new department, to reflect the Premier’s reshuffled Cabinet. This has meant some divisions and departmental responsibilities have changed agencies.

This document details the core functions contained under the responsibility of each Minister and their Department. Where relevant major statutory bodies have been noted also.

Please see the attached PDF for the full breakdown of changes.
