After it was finished, the new ministry posed for photographs on the steps of Government House before joining their families for a light lunch.
The ministers then headed back to Parliament House for a full ministerial meeting, expected to begin about 2pm.
In the ceremony, Governor-General Michael Jeffery invited Mr Rudd to take the executive oath, effectively ending John Howard's reign as prime minister.
