Key people and aspects of Cabinet
Cabinet should determine all significant matters that affect the government as a whole. Understand which matters are for Cabinet, key roles within Cabinet and confidentiality.
The Cabinet system and workflow
Understand the steps involved in developing a Cabinet submission.
Types of submissions
Cabinet approval of legislation is required 'in principle' before a bill can be drafted.
Appointments
Cabinet consideration is only required for appointments identified as significant or high-level. Ministers are able to directly appoint to boards and committees where Cabinet approval is not required.
The Executive Council
The formal body that advises the Governor on the exercise of his or her statutory duties and powers.
Responding to comments
Final submissions are typically amended in response to comments from other portfolios of agencies received during the draft submission stage.
