Barring Djinang
Barring Djinang is the 5 year Aboriginal Employment Strategy for the Victorian public sector.
It includes 16 initiatives designed to enhance attraction, recruitment and retention of Aboriginal staff.
Barring Djinang initiatives help public sector agencies support and improve career experiences for Aboriginal employees, placing a strong focus on career development.
VPSC’s Aboriginal Employment Unit drives the roll out of initiatives across the public sector and partners with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations to remain responsive.
