New Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has replaced the Daniel Andrews appointee who has run the Department of Premier and Cabinet since 2020, according to multiple reports. The changes involve the official who has been managing the department during the Andrews government period and now exits the role as Carroll takes office. All three outlets describe the replacement as part of a transition in the premier’s office, with Carroll installing a new person to lead the department’s operations. The reports do not provide additional detail on the reasons for the removal or the identity of the incoming appointee. They also do not specify whether other roles within the department are affected. Overall, the coverage focuses on the personnel change at the senior department level, highlighting continuity of administrative leadership up to 2020 and a shift under the new premier afterward. The updates are presented as a standard early-government staffing adjustment following a change in leadership.
