About Us
The Victorian Ombudsman (VO) provides a free, independent, accessible and impartial service to the public. Our purpose is to ensure fairness for the public in their dealings with the Victorian public sector, to improve public administration, and engage within both public organisations, the government sector and the broader community. The Ombudsman Act 1973 (Vic) is the governing legislation.
The VO’s role is to ensure that the services of state and local government, and other public organisations are delivered in a fair and reasonable manner that is compatible with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (Vic) and that human rights have been taken into consideration in decision making.
About this role
Reporting to the Manager, Strategic Intelligence and Prevention, the role is part of VO’s Prevention Division which leads work to meet VO’s legislated objectives to expose and prevent maladministration, improve public administration and educate the community and public sector on matters related to the functions of the Ombudsman.
In this role, you will use internal and external sources of data and information to identify and analyse potential systemic issues relating to public administration, integrity, and human rights.
You will propose oversight and preventive action (including own-motion enquiries, education, engagement and complaint system reviews) in response to identified systemic issues and assist in carrying out these actions, where appropriate.
The role shares data and other intelligence outputs both internally and externally - to inform the work priorities of other divisions at the VO, and to improve public administration in the agencies that we oversee.
Core to your success in this role is the ability to obtain a strong understanding of the Ombudsman Act 1973.
