Parliamentary Handbook of the Commonwealth of Australia 2020584
Ministries and CabinetsThe following lists show each ministry and its term of office since 1901. The termination date for the first 42 ministries coincides with the date on which the Prime Ministers submitted their resignation, and that of each of their ministers, to the Governor-General. Within this period there were three long ministries which spanned elections (Hughes 1918–1923, Bruce-Page 1923–1929 and Lyons 1932–1938).
From the 43rd ministry to the present, ministries have run from election to election unless there was a change in the governing party’s leadership through death, resignation or party room defeat, or the Prime Minister’s appointment being determined by the Governor-General, as occurred in 1975.
In a number of cases ministries listed separately in earlier editions of the Parliamentary Handbook have been consolidated to facilitate easier reference. These are two Fraser ministries (1980–1983), two Keating ministries (1991–1993), two Gillard ministries (2010), and two Rudd ministries (2013).
With the swearing in of the Menzies Ministry on 11.1.1956, the practice was introduced whereby the Cabinet comprised some but not all members of the ministry. This practice was continued until the resignation of the McMahon Ministry on 5.12.1972.
When the Whitlam Ministry assumed office on 5.12.1972, all members of the ministry sat as members of the Cabinet, thus reverting to the original practice which existed prior to 1956.
With the swearing in of the Fraser Ministry on 22.12.1975, the practice was reintroduced whereby the Cabinet comprised some but not all members of the ministry. The practice has been continued by all subsequent ministries.

Notes: The Federal Parliamentary Labor Party has elected its leaders and shadow ministers and then in due course the leader has allocated the portfolios. Consequently commencement dates vary.From 21.9.2015 Assistant Ministers were designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952. From this date onwards the position formerly known as a Parliamentary Secretary was referred to as an Assistant Minister.
