- 1 On 18 December 1950, the Liberal member for Ivanhoe, Rupert Curnow, died. Liberal candidate Frank Block won the resulting by-election on 24 February 1951.
- 2 In March 1951, the Labor member for Prahran, Frank Crean, resigned to stand for Division of Melbourne Ports at the 1951 federal election. Labor candidate Robert Pettiona won the resulting by-election on 16 June 1951.

- 5 In September 1952, former Premier Thomas Hollway was expelled from the Liberal Party. He managed to form a short-lived ministry in October consisting entirely of his supporters; this ministry's defeat was the catalyst for the December 1952 election at which three of his five parliamentary supporters retained their seats and Hollway himself won the seat of Glen Iris from the Liberal leader, Les Norman.
