When a new Minister is appointed to a particular portfolio following an election, relevant public sector agency heads prepare a written briefing for the Minister.
The Briefing to the Incoming Minister (BIM) generally explains the agency and its responsibilities, describes any legislation for which the Minister is responsible, includes an account of major outstanding or emerging policy issues and the implementation of current programmes. It also sets out details of pending decisions or action that will be required of the Minister.
