How can I find out what previous Ministerial portfolios were called?
Ministerial portfolios may have changed names from Parliament to Parliament. For example, Disability, Ageing and Carers has previously been called Housing, Disability and Ageing; Ageing; or Senior Victorians and Aged Care.
If you are searching for a particular portfolio, you will need to select all of its previous titles too.
