Changes to our structure

The Premier of Queensland has sole responsibility for determining ministerial portfolios.

The responsibilities of ministers and their portfolios are set out in Administrative Arrangements Orders.

Administrative Arrangements Orders are re-issued or amended when a change in the structure of government, known as ‘machinery of government’, takes place.
