Message from the Secretary

The Department of Premier and Cabinet’s (DPC) Corporate Plan 2023–27 outlines our key priorities for the years ahead, as we continue to provide leadership to the Victorian Public Service and support the Victorian Government to achieve its strategic objectives.

The department will continue its support for the Premier, leading the way in whole-of-government policy and reform. In addition, we will provide ongoing support for the Deputy Premier, the Minister for Industrial Relations, the Minister for Government Services, and the Minister for Treaty and First Peoples portfolios. This includes further strengthening of DPC’s First Peoples - State Relations group to enhance land justice and traditional owner settlement functions.

The department has undertaken significant changes since the start of 2023, with the department now consisting of the following five groups:

  • Cabinet, Legal and Governance
  • Economic Policy and State Productivity
  • First Peoples State Relations
  • Industrial Relations Victoria
  • Social Policy and Intergovernmental Relations

These changes in DPC’s structure align with the government's priorities and aim to achieve the best outcomes for the Victorian community. The department remains committed to safeguarding and advancing Victoria's interests through sophisticated policy development, advocacy and implementation.

A new function focused on precincts and land coordination has been established, reporting to the Deputy Premier. This function will ensure a comprehensive approach to precinct development, as well as guide the land acquisition processes necessary for delivering the government's infrastructure commitments.

Our commitment to a high-performing public service is as strong and resolute as ever. As a central agency of government, we want our staff to be leaders in promoting excellence in public administration, so we can serve the best interests of the Victorian people. We will also work with our public service colleagues to deliver the government’s four-step fiscal strategy.

I look forward to working with DPC staff to implement this plan and embrace the challenges ahead.

Jeremi Moule
Secretary
