Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Victorias Public Service: A Top-Heavy, Slow, and Less Accountable SystemHelen Silvers review reveals a Victorian Public Service that has become top-heavy, slow, and less accountable. The service has grown by 16% since 2019, with a 52% increase in executive positions, now totaling over 3,000. This surge has led to unwieldy departmental structures and a less agile system. The government accepted a recommendation to cut 332 executive and senior technical positions, but only budgeted to reduce 1,000 full-time equivalent positions overall, less than 2% of total positions, through natural attrition.
