vic government jobs




In Australia our government is broken into three levels; Commonwealth (or Federal) Government, State/Territory Government and Local Government. Each level is responsible for it's own industrial relations and they therefore manage and recruit their workforce separately. Each level of government and how they recruit is explained in more detail below.  


The Commonwealth (or Federal) Government implements laws made by the Federal Parliament.  Its responsibilities are set out in the Australian Constitution and primarily include national matters, such as trade and commerce, currency, immigration, defence, telecommunications and welfare.  The Commonwealth Government is headed by the Prime Minister.  Commonwealth Government departments are located throughout Australia in both regional and rural areas. 

A list of Commonwealth Government departments and agencies is available here.    
 
All permanent and some temporary vacancies are advertised publicly on this website.

The State Government is responsible for matters such as police, schools, roads, hospitals, public housing and business regulation.A very similar structure to the Commonwealth Government is observed in the State Government, which is headed by a Premier.  Positions in the State Government are located throughout Victoria.  

A list of VIC Government agencies and departments is available here.  

All permanent and some temporary vacancies are advertised publicly on this website.

 
Local governments assist the state and are usually in the form of a council or shire.  They are responsible for town planning, building works, local roads, parking, water and sewerage, waste disposal, domestic animals and community facilities.  A council is headed by a Mayor. Local government offices are located in every council or shire within the state.

A list of VIC local councils is available here.

There is no central resource for advertising positions within Victorian councils however links to each individual council's employment website are listed in the directory above.
