DPC’s organisational structure consists of the following five groups,
two of which updated their titles in 2025 to better reflect their remits:
- Office of the Secretary
- Economic Policy and State Productivity
- First Peoples – State Relations
- Public Administration (previously Justice and Public Administration)
- Social Policy (previously Social Policy and Intergovernmental Relations).
DPC will continue to support the Premier and Deputy Premier through the social and economic policies we help develop and implement, as well as the expert advice we provide on a range of government functions, including Cabinet, Cabinet Committees and the Executive Council.
We added Children’s Portfolio Coordination to our list of portfolio responsibilities in 2025. The Government has a significant reform agenda for children aged 12 and under and DPC will be working closely with other departments and agencies to ensure this work is delivered.
Our department will also support the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Minister for Treaty and First Peoples, as these portfolios continue to focus on building a safe, inclusive and fairer Victoria. This includes leading Treaty negotiations on behalf of the State of Victoria with the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, which DPC is doing through our Treaty Negotiations and Strategy Branch.
The initiatives outlined in this Plan set aspirational targets for our workforce over the next four years, while acknowledging the fiscal challenges the VPS is facing. We look forward to demonstrating the levels of leadership, integrity and commitment to public-sector excellence that are befitting of a first minister’s department.
