Department of Premier and Cabinet
The Department of Premier and Cabinet focuses on the big Government issues. Whether it's dealing with major community initiatives or setting the agenda for public sector management, we have a leadership role.
The Department provides strategic advice and services to the Premier and Government, drives the State Plan, manages statewide issues and projects, drafts and publishes legislation, manages public sector staff and resources and ensures a whole-of-government approach.
We focus on Government initiatives such as The State Plan, regulatory reform, performance reviews and service delivery improvement. We undertake sector wide activities that must be located centrally like disaster management. We coordinate improvements in infrastructure delivery, particularly major projects and industry and business development. We manage workforce reforms and employee relations. We provide services essential to support the machinery of government like ministerial services, parliamentary counsel, cabinet secretariat and policy support.
