Progress towards achieving departmental objectives

Outcomes we achieved during the year against our key initiatives and projects.

This section reports on the outcomes the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) achieved during the year against our key initiatives and projects to demonstrate the importance of these initiatives in DPC achieving our departmental objectives.

This section also reports on DPC’s progress for each departmental objective to demonstrate our contribution to the Victorian Government’s priorities to best deliver outcomes for the Victorian community.

Changes to the department during 2018–19

Effective from 1 January 2019, the Industrial Relations, Women and Youth ministerial portfolios and associated outputs were transferred to DPC due to machinery of government changes. DPC now has administrative responsibility for these outputs and we have therefore included them in our performance reporting.

These changes are summarised below:

2018–19 output 2017–18 output Reason for change
Industrial relations Industrial relations Transferred from the previous Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR).
Women’s policy Gender equality and the prevention of family violence The gender equality component of this output was transferred from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The family violence component has remained within DHHS.
Youth Youth affairs Transferred from DHHS.

The machinery of government changes came into effect following the November 2018 Victorian state election.
