Member for Charlestown Jodie Harrison MP has been named in the full NSW Government Ministry, announced by Premier Chris Minns on 4 April. 

Ms Harrison will be sworn in as Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault this week. 

"I am honoured to be named as part of a Minns-Car Ministry and to have the opportunity to continue this very important work," Ms Harrison said. 

Premier Chris Minns said the Government will hit the ground running to get on with the job of governing for all of New South Wales.

"We have been given a clear mandate from the people of New South Wales to:

  • rebuild our essential services;
  • to invest in the people who look after us – our nurses, teachers, paramedics, police officers and firefighters by removing the wages cap;
  • deal with the crisis in our schools and hospitals;
  • deal with the energy crisis; and
  • help with the rising cost of living."

The Minns Ministry is a reduced Cabinet of 22 Ministers, but for the first time in New South Wales history, will be 50 per cent women (excluding the Premier).

For the first time in New South Wales history, a woman will hold the position of Leader of the Government in the Legislative Council.
