Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas has been appointed Health Minister, following the exodus of five leading Andrews government ministers last week.

Ms Thomas will leave her previous agriculture and regional development portfolio to upper house MP Harriet Shing.

The Macedon MP will join Lily D’Ambrosio, Danny Pearson, Natalie Hutchins and Ben Carroll as new coordinating ministers across five government departments.

More to come.
