For a Minister (but not a Parliamentary Secretary), an office, as determined by the Minister, is provided for your official duties. The office must not be used for any commercial purpose.
The Ministerial office is generally in addition to your electorate office, although you may have a combined Ministerial/electorate office.
Where the offices are not combined, the Minister may determine the establishment of a Ministerial office located within your electorate, the capital city of your state/territory or, subject to availability, a permanent office within the Commonwealth Parliament Offices (CPO). Typically, this would be in the CPO in the State or Territory where you reside, but may be in the CPO in another capital city. CPO suites are allocated by Ministerial and Parliamentary Services and are subject to availability.
