The Liberal–National coalition ministry was formed following the resignation of the previous Premier, Gladys Berejiklian and the election of Perrottet as leader of the Liberal Party on 5 October 2021. Stuart Ayres was elected as deputy party leader. Separate to the Liberal Party leadership election, the National Party also had its own leadership election on 6 October 2021, following the resignation of John Barilaro as party leader, who said it was "the right time for me to hand the reins over". Paul Toole was elected as National Party leader and subsequently replaced Barilaro as Deputy Premier of New South Wales.
The ministry was largely unchanged from the previous Berejiklian ministry as Perrottet opted not to reshuffle the cabinet yet. The ministry continued until the major cabinet reshuffle on 21 December 2021 when the Second Perrottet ministry was sworn in. The Parliament of New South Wales considers the second ministry to be a separate and new ministry from the first.
