History
Predecessor	Third Andrews ministry

TheAllan ministry is the 72nd and current ministry of theGovernment of Victoria. TheLabor government, led byPremierJacinta Allan and Deputy PremierBen Carroll, was officially sworn in following the resignation ofDaniel Andrews and dissolution of theThird Andrews ministry.^[1]

On the 27th of September 2023, only Allan was sworn in as Premier.

The full ministry was sworn in on the 2nd of October 2023.^[2] At this time, theministry consisted of 22ministers, fifteen of whom are women.

The formation of the ministry can be traced back to the aftermath of the2023 Victorian Labor Party leadership election, during whichJacinta Allan emerged as the uncontested leader of the party and subsequently ascended to the position ofPremier of Victoria. Allan's ascent to leadership resulted from intricate negotiations between the factions within the party, namely theLabor Right andLabor Left, who had reached an impasse concerning the deputy leadership. Initially, the left faction had endorsedTreasurer of VictoriaTim Pallas as their preferred candidate, while the right faction had intended to nominateBen Carroll for the leadership, withAnthony Carbines as his deputy.

However, these factional disagreements ultimately gave way to a consensus, leading toBen Carroll being elected unopposed as the deputy, thereby averting the need for an extended rank-and-file election.^[3][4]
