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. 

Disability employment

The Victorian Public Sector is an inclusive and diverse workplace and workforce. We encourage people with a disability to apply for any advertised position. You will receive adjustments and supports throughout – from applications, the recruitment process to ongoing support in the workplace.

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

As a Victorian public service employee, you will have priority access to job opportunities across the public service through the Jobs and Skills Exchange.

Roles advertised can be fixed-term, casual, seasonal or secondments, and offer the opportunity to learn new skills and advance your career.

Find out more about the Job and Skills Exchange on the Victorian Government website.

Cadetships

The Victorian public sector offers paid cadetships to young people to gain work experience in departments and agencies. There are two programs – the Youth Cadetship Scheme and the Aboriginal Undergraduate Cadetship Program. Find out more on the Careers.Vic website.

Over a two-year program, we provide graduate opportunities across a range of disciplines including construction management, project management, information systems, communications and engagement, legal, and people and capability. 

Graduates will participate in rotational placements every six months in a range of business contexts. The program combines a structured learning and development program involving a range of professional and personal development workshops, site visits, project work, mentoring and career planning to prepare you for the next step in your career. 

By joining us, you'll not only gain first-hand experience working on real projects, developing technical and professional skills, working alongside industry experts and learning from professionals who will be eager to help and guide you. Our graduate recruitment campaign occurs annually. Visit our Careers page to stay up to date on when applications open.
