- 1 At the state elections on 15 February 1936, James Kenneally lost his East Perth seat to an Independent Labor candidate, Thomas Hughes. Kenneally and another candidate contested the poll citing Hughes's status as an undischarged bankrupt at the time of the poll (meaning that he was not eligible to stand), and a fresh by-election was called for 9 May, which Hughes won. On 13 May, Kenneally resigned from the Collier Ministry. Bert Hawke replaced him in the Executive Council and in two of his portfolios, whilst Millington and Wise reshuffled portfolios, in part to unite Works and Water Supplies under one minister.
- 2 Willcock assumed all of Collier's portfolios from 20 August 1936 until 27 August 1936 whilst Caucus selected a new Cabinet.
