Malcolm Turnbull's ministry line-up should soon be known, with its members to be sworn in on Monday.

The new prime minister has refused to be drawn on who will make the cut, however, it's anticipated Social Services Minister Scott Morrison will replace Joe Hockey as treasurer.

Several long-serving ministers are expected to be excluded from cabinet, including Employment Minister Eric Abetz and Defence Minister Kevin Andrews.

Michaelia Cash, Marise Payne, Kelly O'Dwyer, Arthur Sinodinos and Simon Birmingham are considered likely for promotion.

Education Minister Christopher Pyne is tipped to move to defence.
