Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are shown in bold type. As a general rule, there is one department in each portfolio. However, there is a Department of Climate Change in the Prime Minister’s portfolio and a Department of Veterans’ Affairs in the Defence portfolio. Except for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Department of Finance and Deregulation, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, the Department of Climate Change and the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism the title of each department reflects that of the portfolio minister.
