About us
The Department of Treasury and Finance provides economic, financial and resource management advice to help the Victorian Government deliver its policies. We strive for excellence in financial and economic management to improve the lives of all Victorians.
The Commercial Division is accountable for providing advice on the state's financial assets and liabilities, along with oversight of the Government's business enterprises. It takes a lead role in overseeing significant government commercial transactions, providing both transaction advisory services and advice. Additionally, the Division manages workplace safety, housing related funds and loan schemes, and the regulatory function that provides oversight of the performance of the community housing sector in Victoria. The Commercial Transactions team provides transaction advisory services and advice on whole of State negotiations and commercial transactions. This includes identifying asset reform opportunities to optimise the State's balance sheet management as well as overseeing post transaction governance for complex commercial transactions. Our objective is to ensure the benefits, costs and risks are understood so that Government is able to make informed decisions. The team has broad expertise in a range of disciplines including project management, economics, finance and accounting, policy development, industrial relations and law. As a result, we can quickly provide concise, considered and expert advice on complex matters.
Housing Programs
This team is responsible for the:
• $2.8 billion Victorian Homebuyer Fund, a shared equity scheme through which the Government co-invests with participants in residential property in exchange for an equivalent equity share (where participants remain in the scheme for up to 30 years);
• $2.4 billion Social Housing Growth Fund, which provides funding to eligible community housing agencies to deliver new social and affordable housing for Victorians in need; and
• $250 million Victorian Business Growth Fund, which supports SMEs eager to grow their business but unable to access the funds nor find the right partner to do so. The team has a positive, high-performing culture and proactively invests in the professional development of its members.
