Cabinet of South Australia

The Cabinet of South Australia is the chief policy-making organ of the Government of South Australia.

In South Australia the cabinet is interchangeably known as the ministry as there is no "outer ministry" – therefore all ministers are in cabinet.

The current 14-member cabinet, the Weatherill Ministry, is headed by Premier Jay Weatherill of the South Australian Branch of the Australian Labor Party.
