People matter survey response rates 2023

Number of survey responses and percentage of total responses by industry

In total, 115,875 Victorian public sector employees voluntarily responded to the People matter survey 2023.

We don’t show the data from 2020 as some organisations couldn’t take part in the 2020 survey as they were responding to the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and floods. Therefore, the 2020 data isn’t a true representation of the public sector.

We reserve the right to change or correct information at any time.
