Embedding self-determination across the transport portfolio

The Victorian Government’s Self Determination Framework (SDRF) guides public service action to enable self-determination in line with commitments in the Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Framework (VAAF).

Reform domains and action areas

The SDRF requires departments and agencies to develop actions against four reform domains. The goals across these reform domains include:

People

Build a culturally safe public service workforce that understands and has the capacity to enable Aboriginal self-determination in all policies and programs;

Systems

Transform government systems and structures to enable Aboriginal decision-making, leadership and strategic service provision by embedding the self-determination enablers;

Outcomes

Adopt an outcomes-focused approach that will enable flexibility and Aboriginal leadership in government’s efforts to embed the self-determination enablers; and

Accountability

Establish transparent, Aboriginal-led accountability of government and government-funded organisations to ensure that policies and programs are responsive to Aboriginal needs, priorities and aspirations, and that government action in Aboriginal affairs is consistent with the self-determination enablers and guiding principles.
