Organisation: Department of Families, Fairness and Housing
Occupation: Policy
Reference: VG/DFEM/604544/604546
The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) works hard to create equal opportunities for all Victorians to live a safe, respected and valued life.
Our areas of focus are child protection, housing, disability, the prevention of family violence, multicultural affairs, LGBTIQA+ equality, veterans, women and youth.
The work we do benefits thousands of Victorians, particularly those who are disadvantaged and vulnerable.
We work in a variety of community-based settings, including people's homes, residential facilities and secure settings across metropolitan, rural and regional Victoria.
We are committed to developing and supporting a workforce that is well equipped and highly motivated.
All jobs can be worked flexibly, and we encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people from diverse backgrounds and abilities.
THE ROLE
As a Policy and Program Officer in the Office for Women, you will play a key role in supporting work to improve outcomes for Victorian women.
This includes developing policy and implementing programs to drive cultural change and public sector leadership on gender equality, and strengthen women's health, wellbeing, economic equity, safety and access to leadership.
The role requires you to be a proactive self-starter with an understanding of government processes and an ability to work in a complex, sensitive and fast-paced environment.
You will support a range of projects and core portfolio functions, including program management, preparation of a range of written products, policy development and coordination tasks.
The role also requires high levels of adaptability and resilience, and a commitment to contributing to a professional and supportive work environment.
We recognise diversity is critical to our team's success in embedding an intersectional gender lens across government and in the broader Victorian community.
We strongly encourage First Nations people, people of colour, people with disability, LGBTIQA+ people and men to apply.
We are looking for candidates that demonstrate strong policy, analytical and communication skills coupled with an ability to influence stakeholders and work effectively in a team environment.
Experience in program management and social policy will be a strong advantage.
ACCOUNTABILITIES INCLUDE
Prepare high quality briefings, correspondence, cabinet submissions, advice and other written products.
Coordinate and provide advice to the Minister for Women, the Secretary and senior officers on gender equality and related policy issues, including Cabinet submissions and initiatives proposed by departments and agencies.
Conduct policy analysis to inform the development of policy and specific projects/programs.
COVID-19 VACCINATION
The department strongly recommends (but does not mandate) that employees maintain their COVID-19 vaccination status in accordance with current ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation) advice , given their individual circumstances.
As of June 2023, DFFH does not require evidence of COVID-19 vaccination status.

Applicants are encouraged to apply online.
Attachments can be uploaded in .doc, .docx, .pdf, .txt or .rtf formats.
