NDIS Minister Bill Shorten will end 17 years in politics on Monday, sparking a cabinet reshuffle ahead of the federal election.
The resignation creates vacancies in the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Government Services portfolios, handing the prime minister an opportunity to re-allocate roles within his 30-member ministry and finesse his frontbench team before voters head to the polls.
A government source told the ABC Mr Shorten's responsibilities would be split up among three ministers in a reshuffle to be made public as soon as Thursday.
Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth will add the NDIS to her portfolio, with Finance Minister Katy Gallagher to take on Centrelink and Anne Aly to become junior disability minister.
