Newly reelected Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has announced a new-look cabinet for the next four years, with former minister for families and children Jenny Mikakos taking on the health ministry and the state's ambitious hospital building program.

Former Health Minister Jill Hennessy has been promoted to Attorney General, the first woman to hold this position in a Victorian Labor government. In addition to a number of building projects, Ms Hennessy's tenure as health minister was notable for the introduction of the SafeScript real-time prescription monitoring program.
