The Department is committed to diversity and inclusion in providing the highest level of service to the Victorian community.  As one of Victoria’s largest employers, the Department aims to create an organisation that is diverse, fair and inclusive.  By reflecting the diversity of the Victorian community within its workforce and equipping staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to work with a diverse community, the Department’s service and business is enhanced.

Respect and Diversity are also CORE values of the Department and the foundation for provision of equal employment opportunity.  Managers, principals and employees are expected to model respectful and inclusive behaviours in the workplace and in their service provision to students, parents and the community.
