First Peoples Partnerships and Engagement
The First Peoples Partnerships and Engagement team (P&E) is the first point of contact for advice on engaging with Traditional Owners and First Peoples Community. The P&E team sits within FPSDR and operates alongside the Careers and Cultural Safety and Policy and Reform teams.
P&E can be contacted via email at firstpeoples.engagement@ transport.vic.gov.au
Aboriginal Partnership Officers

APOs are responsible for leading, coordinating and providing expert advice to develop, maintain and support strong working local partnerships with:
- local Registered Aboriginal Parties,
- Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and;
- other First Peoples Community groups within the region
