Vic Treasury

The state treasurer says that despite a blowout, making cuts to the public sector at a time when Victorians rely on crucial services is not desirable.

Executives at Victorian Public Service agencies could lose their bonuses, four years after the state’s departmental secretaries lost their extra cut.

Capital and human resource spending is back in the first Victorian budget from Treasurer state Tim Pallas. Following windfalls in revenues the new Andrews government has found ways to spend it, keeping its promise to restore pay of critical state workers.
