About Us
The Department of Government Services (DGS) was established on 1 January 2023 to improve everyone’s experience of doing business and interacting with the Victorian government. We bring important day-to-day services together in one department to make things easy and seamless for Victorians and businesses. We are doing this by connecting and digitising our systems and platforms across state and local government as well as streamlining our corporate and procurement services.

The Operations Group delivers frontline customer services to Victorians and the public service. It maintains the foundational digital infrastructure and platforms that support efficient, secure and reliable service delivery. The group uses industry-leading delivery principles for shared services and supports the development of sustainable and efficient whole-of-Victorian Government (WOVG) shared services.
The new Business Solutions Services division brings a focused approach to how the Department of Government Services onboards and supports government customers to adopt shared services. The division is a key interface for new government customers, ensuring that the transition requirements and pathways to adoption of standardised shared services is clearly supported.
The People Experience Branch partners with leaders across its customer departments to design and deliver contemporary people strategies, services and initiatives that build a capable, engaged and high-performing workforce. Working collaboratively with executives and business areas, the branch strengthens workforce capability, fosters employee engagement, and cultivates a positive, inclusive and psychologically safe workplace culture that enhances organisational performance and enables the department to achieve its strategic objectives.
These two new VPSG6.1 roles both have responsibility for leading a small team of high-performing Senior HR Business Partners delivering services to clients, and will particular focus on scoping, developing and supporting the delivery of wide-scale projects including organisational change and transformation and workforce development, culture and planning. These new roles work in close partnership with portfolio executive leadership teams to build, develop and implement their people strategy in alignment with the respective department’s overarching strategic plan and to support implementation of short and long term people management strategies and tactics to deliver business benefit.
As a senior member of the team, this role is expected to collaborate extensively across Operations Group, People Experience and People Operations branches, and work closely with colleagues and stakeholders to develop fit-for-purpose solutions and focus primarily on a strategic people agenda.
