About Us
The Department of the Chief Minister is a central agency that services the needs of the Chief Minister and Cabinet as well as the Leader of the Opposition. Similar to a Department of Premier and Cabinet in other States or the Department of the Prime Minister nationally, the Department of the Chief Minister is the central strategic coordinating arm of Government.
It has a special role to play in implementing the priorities of Government as well as providing leadership across the public sector.
The Department is also home to a number of strategic government units, including Territory Growth Planning; Major Projects, Asian Relations and Trade; Indigenous Policy; and Security and Emergency Recovery.
