The Cabinet has the same membership as the Executive Council: the Premier and ministers (including the Deputy Premier and Attorney-General). Assistant ministers, formerly called parliamentary secretaries,[n 1] are not members.
The Miles Ministry is a ministry of the Government of Queensland led by Steven Miles. Miles was elected the leader, of the Queensland Labor Party and subsequently premier following the resignation of Annastacia Palaszczuk on 15 December 2023.[3][4]

Unlike the Executive Council, which is a mechanism for advising the Governor, the Cabinet meets without the Governor and is responsible for formulating and coordinating policy. In effect, the Executive Council is a vehicle for implementing decisions made in Cabinet.[7] Individual ministers are collectively responsible for the decisions made by Cabinet, so ministers are expected to resign if unwilling to publicly support a collective decision of Cabinet.[8]
Meetings of the Cabinet are usually held on 10:00 a.m. on Mondays in the Executive Building's Cabinet Room. The Premier (or Deputy Premier in her or his absence)[8] chairs its meetings[9] and establishes its agenda.[10] All members are expected to be present at all meetings unless excused by the Premier.[9]
