The First Gillard Ministry (Labor) was the 66th ministry of the Australian government and was led by the prime minister, Julia Gillard. It succeeded the first Rudd ministry upon its swearing in by the Governor-General of Australia, Quentin Bryce, on 24 June 2010. It was replaced by the second Gillard ministry on 14

The change in ministry followed a series of events on 23–24 June that led to the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, first calling a leadership ballot within the governing Labor Party after being challenged by his deputy, Julia Gillard, and then declining to contest it, allowing Gillard to win the leadership unopposed. The initial form of the First Gillard Ministry was identical to the final form of the first Rudd ministry, apart from Gillard's appointment as prime minister and Wayne Swan as deputy prime minister, and the departure of Rudd as a minister.[1] A minor reshuffle was announced on 28 June, with Simon Crean to assume responsibility for Gillard's former portfolios of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and Social Inclusion. Stephen Smith was assigned the Trade portfolio in addition to his Foreign Affairs portfolio.[2]
