She came to power in January 2015, and her Labor party will go up against the the Liberal National Party led by Tim Nichols.
A rebel MP and the ill health of another are understood to be contributing factors for the Premier to call an early election.
Member for Pumicestone Rick Williams quit Labor and Agriculture Minister Bill Byrne is in poor health with heart issues, meaning he will struggle to attend the last weeks of Parliament.
