The Albanese government is the federal executive government of Australia, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of the Australian Labor Party. The Albanese government commenced on 23 May 2022, when Albanese and an interim ministry of four other Labor MPs were sworn into their relevant ministerial portfolios by the Governor-General of Australia. The government is composed of members of the Australian Labor Party. The party initially governed with 77 seats on the floor of the House of Representatives, enough for a two-seat majority. Albanese succeeded the Scott Morrison-led Liberal/National Coalition government (2018–2022), which became unable to continue in government following their defeat in the 2022 federal election.

The Scott Morrison ministerial positions controversy, also known as the Morrison ministries scandal, was a major political scandal in Australia involving the government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison. The scandal developed following the 2022 Australian federal election, when it was revealed that Scott Morrison, while the Prime Minister of Australia, had himself secretly appointed to five ministerial positions without the knowledge of the public or his own government. An inquiry, ordered by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and led by Virginia Bell, recommended legislative changes to prevent such a consolidation of centralised decision making occurring in the future. On 29 November 2023, the Ministers of State Amendment Act 2023 came into effect, requiring all future ministerial appointments and certain other appointments to be publicly notified.
