Message from the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner
We are pleased to present the Victorian Public Sector Commission’s (VPSC) Accessibility Action Plan 2024 to 2027.
We are committed to building a more inclusive Victoria that upholds the rights of people with a disability.
This plan drives our work to make the VPSC an employer that is genuinely accessible and inclusive, as part of a trusted and representative public sector workforce that delivers for all Victorians.
It sets our course to promoting universal access through five priority areas that reflect our organisation’s size, structure, and resources, as well as how we will evaluate and report on progress over the coming years.
It continues, refines and builds on the excellent work of our previous Accessibility Action Plan 2019 to 2022.
We are proud of our achievements to date, including leading Getting to work: the Victorian public sector disability employment action plan 2018 to 2025, improving our physical work environment, carrying out a Dignified Access Review, including disability awareness in employee inductions, ensuring accessible communications content and supporting flexible work arrangements. We are committed to continuing to make tangible, measurable improvements.
It’s essential that the VPSC is a role model and walks the talk when it comes to accessibility, eliminating discrimination and attracting and retaining talented employees from all abilities and backgrounds to help us deliver the best advice, policies, and programs. It’s central to what we do and embedded in our public sector values particularly, Respect, Accountability, Leadership and Human Rights.
We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to this plan. Working together is how we achieve positive change.
