It’s important that the Victorian Public Service is diverse and inclusive, so it reflects the community we serve. That’s why we’ve made pathways for applicants with a disability and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders.

Aboriginal employment

The Victorian Public Service is committed to increasing Aboriginal employment and investing in our Aboriginal workforce. You can access a range of programs designed to provide cultural safety, provide one-on-one support and networking opportunities.

There is also a range of employment initiatives for Aboriginal young people and students. To find out more, visit the Careers.Vic website.
