Mr Tehan will take on the key trade portfolio, putting the former diplomat at the forefront of repairing Australia’s relationship with China. Alan Tudge takes over Mr Tehan’s former portfolio of education, now combined with youth affairs.

In a larger than expected change-up, Greg Hunt will be given the difficult Aged Care portfolio alongside his current Health portfolio. Tasmanian senator Richard Colbeck retains responsibility for aged care services, including the delivery of residential and home care packages and regulation of the sector.

“This is about elevating aged care into the cabinet ... because of the seriousness of this issue, the size and scale of the reform program that will need to be implemented post the royal commission report,” Mr Morrison said.
