A Cabinet note is used to provide information to Cabinet and cannot be used where Cabinet approval is required.

The following must be noted by Cabinet:

• progress of significant strategies or projects of importance to Cabinet, including election commitments
• public release of significant reports (including submissions to inquiries – these should only be produced when there is a strategic advantage to the state)
• outcome of travel by ministers (principles and reporting requirements can be found in the Premier's Guideline: Air Travel by Ministers and their Staff)
• the government’s position on a Private Member’s Bill or motion, or amendments to a government Bill
• early advice of significant emerging issues that need to be addressed or may require a change in policy direction for the government.
