==Related ministerial portfolios==
==List of housing ministers==
===List of ministers for Government Services===
The first Minister for Housing was [[Les Bury]], appointed in 1963, although there were [[Minister for Veterans' Affairs (Australia)|Ministers in charge of War Service Homes]] from 1932 to 1938 and 1941 to 1945. In 1945 [[Bert Lazzarini]] was appointed Minister for Works and Housing and this title continued until 1952, when [[Wilfrid Kent Hughes]] became Minister for Works. No minister included "works" or "[[construction]]" in his portfolio after [[Stewart West]] lost this title in 1987, partly reflecting the progressive outsourcing of the Commonwealth's construction activities and even ownership of assets. The [[John Howard]] government had no Minister of Housing, partly reflecting the decline of the significance of the commonwealth-state housing agreements as a means of providing new housing since the post-war years.
