Assistant Health Minister Ken Wyatt will be sworn in on Wednesday, more than a week after his frontbench colleagues were appointed to their positions.

The indigenous Liberal MP will be officially sworn in to his post in the new-look Malcolm Turnbull government by Governor-General Peter Cosgrove at a ceremony at Government House in Canberra.

Mr Wyatt, Australia's first indigenous frontbench politician, missed last week's swearing in ceremony because he was overseas.

The prime minister will also attend the ceremony.
