VPS Common Policies
The Service Delivery Partnership Plan within the Victorian Public Service (VPS) Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the Agreement) requires the development of common policies in relation to key provisions of the Agreement to remove ambiguity and inconsistency across the VPS.
The VPS common policies have been approved by the Victorian Secretaries Board and apply to all VPS employees and employers covered by the Agreement.
The VPS common policies provide guidance on the interpretation and application of key provisions of the Agreement and should be read in conjunction with relevant provisions of the Agreement.
Department policies are currently being reviewed to ensure consistency with the VPS common policies. Where there is an inconsistency between a Departmental policy and a VPS common policy, the VPS common policy takes precedence.
Further information and a complete list of the current VPS common policies is available at Victorian Public Service Common Policies.
