Government jobs in Victoria
12 May 2015 by News Desk
There are hundreds of job vacancies currently available at the Government of Victoria.
Migrants seeking to work in Australia are being encouraged to consider a career with the Victorian Government, which is committed to attracting and retaining the best talent. To achieve this goal it has created government employment conditions that many employees in the private sector can only dream of – like flexible hours, salary packaging and leave for most life events.
Victorian Government employment offers not only jobs but careers. If you are looking for a career with varied opportunities, the chance to make a difference, and where strong social values are shared and rewarded, government employment has much to offer.
When you enter Victorian Government employment you can expect an orientation to the workplace. Practices may vary across agencies, but your manager will introduce you to your work colleagues, familiarise you with agency policies, procedures and systems, and show you around the workplace.
A number of organisations also assign buddies to help you settle into your new surroundings and answer any questions you may have.
The Victorian Government offers competitive salaries to attract the best people. One of the most attractive Government employee benefits is salary packaging. This allows you to use pre-tax dollars to ‘top up’ superannuation, access a leased vehicle for full private use or take out discounted private health insurance cover.
Other tax-effective work-related and deductible items are offered, including laptop computers, professional membership fees and home office expenses. Direct employer contributions are made to an approved superannuation fund, under the superannuation guarantee legislation. Your superannuation can also be ‘topped up’ to a complying accumulation fund of your choice.
Darrell Todd, CEO of thinking australia, says: “If you are a skilled or professional person seeking a job or new life in Australia, contact us today to find out how you could be ‘living the dream'”.
