The Cabinet and Executive Council Office plays an important role in helping the Tasmanian Government make and implement key decisions. The Office coordinates the processes that support Cabinet and Executive Council meetings, ensuring major policies, legislation and appointments are properly considered, approved and recorded.
The team works closely with Ministers, ministerial offices and government departments to keep Cabinet and Executive Council business running smoothly and in line with Tasmanian Government requirements.
The Cabinet is the central decision-making body of the Tasmanian Government. It is made up of the Premier and Ministers, who meet regularly to discuss and decide on important government policies, programs and issues. Cabinet ensures that government decisions are coordinated, consistent and in the best interests of the Tasmanian community.
The Tasmanian Government Cabinet Handbook outlines the procedures for and conventions around the operation of the Cabinet and its support processes.
The Executive Council is a formal body established to advise the Governor of Tasmania on the exercise of certain powers under law. It plays a key constitutional role in the governance of the State. The Executive Council is made up of Ministers of the Crown, who become members (known as Executive Councillors) immediately after being sworn in as Ministers.
In practice, this means that the Governor, acting on the advice of the Executive Council, gives formal approval to certain government decisions and legal instruments.
The Tasmanian Government Executive Council Handbook outlines the procedures for and conventions around the operation of the Executive Council and its support processes.
