Respect for the law, due process, the authority of the state as expressed through its institutions. In the eyes of many Victorians, police are seen as the community’s arbiters of respect; they uphold and enforce the agreed standards of behaviour that enable us all to live in a cohesive, safe and prosperous society. Under emerging models of policing, respect is even more paramount: community policing demands that the fundamental relationship between the people and its police be one of mutual trust and respect – a relationship of equality. Our 2015 report into sex discrimination, sexual harassment and predatory behaviour within Victoria Police revealed that respect – in particular, respect for women – was sorely lacking within the organisation. This was evident not only in the behaviours of some employees, but in the systems and structures that acted to discriminate or disadvantage female employees. The Review peeled back the layers on a culture that not only caused harm to some of its people but undermined the organisation’s capability and ability to perform at its best. To deliver more respectful and effective policing services for the community, it was clear that Victoria Police needed to start by addressing the issues closer to home. Victoria Police did not shy away from the findings detailed in our 2015 report. In a public demonstration of the organisation’s leadership and dedication, it accepted and committed to all 20 recommendations in full. Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton publicly and sincerely apologised for the harm caused to all present and past employees, and has since led the charge with both determination and humility to effect change. In another act of admirable leadership, Victoria Police committed to continuing to do this work in the public eye and with our external oversight and scrutiny, including through two audits of the organisation’s progress. Since the Phase 1 Review was released, Victoria Police has demonstrated impressive dedication, in part evidenced by the significant investment that has been devoted to implementing the reforms. A new Command was established to oversee the implementation efforts, led by a dedicated Assistant Commissioner. Across the organisation, 21 projects have been created and resourced in order to breathe life into the recommendations. The expert knowledge and strategic guidance of a broad range of external experts has been willingly sought across implementation. Senior leaders have engaged directly with staff and supported localised responses in their own Commands or Directorates. In June 2017, Victoria Police launched its first ever Gender Equality Strategy and Action Plan. This strategy is unequivocal in its vision for Victoria Police to be a ‘diverse and inclusive workplace that demands equality and respect for women’. The success of enduring reform is building the structures to enforce the commitment of an organisation beyond changes in leadership and political environment. These structural foundations are beginning to become evident. Significant achievements to date have included the creation of a parental leave backfill program (set to become operational in 2018); extensive data collection to build a baseline for measurement; a revised workplace flexibility policy; face-to-face engagement with staff across the organisation; extensive work to redesign the internal disciplinary system; the creation of a triage and case management model for complaints of workplace harm, and the establishment of a range of pilots to foster women’s leadership capability. This Audit seeks to provide an in- depth assessment of progress towards the successful implementation of all 20 recommendations, 2 Independent Review | Phase 2 Audit highlighting where further work or a directional shift is required. I commend Victoria Police for the significant work that has taken place, particularly against the backdrop of the unrelenting and varied community demand that the organisation must respond to. This work has not been without significant challenges and difficult introspection. There is an adage that goes: ‘There is no comfort in learning and no learning in comfort’. Reflection and the associated discomfort are critical parts of the change journey. Through this audit and our ongoing engagement with Victoria Police, we have seen a number of senior leaders speak frankly and authentically about both the professional and personal challenges of this work. To critically reflect, to listen to different and confronting viewpoints, and to allow yourself to be vulnerable are impressive leadership traits and essential in this kind of transformational change. Creating the foundations for change takes time. Creating attitudinal and behavioural change may take even longer. Transforming the culture of a workforce that has served the community for 165 years is an enormous task, and this job has just begun. There is still significant work to be done across all 20 recommendations and there is still resistance to some of this work. I urge Victoria Police to continue its rigour and determination in the face of difficult change, and to meet the complexity of transforming a large organisation with a very broad range of priorities. I would like to recognise and thank all participants of the Review and the Audit for their candour, bravery and strength. Because of your contributions and courage, Victoria Police is transforming into a safer, more respectful place for all employees. In particular, I would like to acknowledge Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton for his steadfast dedication and leadership; Deputy Commissioner Wendy Steendam for her tireless commitment, devotion to reform and for standing as a voice and champion of women across the organisation; and Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius for leading the program of reforms and working to appeal to the hearts and minds of the organisation and the broader emergency services sector. In the face of challenging work, they have persevered to ensure that the changes that followed the Phase 1 Review remain at the forefront of Victoria Police’s priorities. Respect is at the heart of this work, and this work takes real heart to lead. It is a privilege to lead the Commission’s ongoing work with Victoria Police. I would

  • Victoria Police Submission to the Royal Commission Into Family Violence
    SUBM.0923.001.0001 Victoria Police Submission to the Royal Commission into Family Violence Introduction Victoria Police welcomes the opportunity the Royal Commission into Family Violence provides to examine policing interventions and the broader system responses to the scourge of family violence. We recognise this is a unique environment for considering holistic change with: an Australian-first Royal Commission; a dedicated Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence; the prioritisation of family violence at the state and national levels; and a groundswell of community support for – and expectation of – reform. We have therefore used this occasion to challenge ourselves on the fundamentals of the existing system and to think creatively – but responsibly – about potential future directions. Victoria Police understanding of the focus of the Royal Commission Victoria Police understands the Royal Commission’s Terms of Reference and Issues Paper have a future focus on ensuring that Victoria has a system that: reduces the incidence of family violence; hold perpetrators to account; and supports victims in an effective, efficient and sustainable way. Specifically, the Terms of Reference require the Royal Commission to: provide practical recommendations to stop family violence; establish best practice for prevention, early intervention, victim support, perpetrator accountability; have systemic responses to family violence; better integrate and coordinate efforts; and recommend how best to evaluate and measure results. Victoria Police notes the significant focus on changing community attitudes to family violence. Our submission aims to support the Royal Commission by drawing on our work and experience in responding to family violence over the last decade to advise: what works, and why; what is not working, and why; and what system improvements can be made in the short, medium and longer term.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2020 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). It has been made by the State of Victoria. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement. [2] Supplementary material provided with the application discloses that during the access period the employer became aware that 76 of the 50,719 employees to be covered by the Agreement had not been notified of the time and place at which the vote was to occur and the voting method to be used by the start of the access period as required by s.180(3) of the Act. The same 76 employees had likewise not been provided with a copy of, or access to, the written text of the Agreement as required s.180(2) of the Act. The Applicant submits that the employees concerned were provided with a copy of, or had access to, the written text of the Agreement and were notified of the time and place at which the vote was to occur and the voting method to be used prior to the conclusion of the access period. In all the circumstances, particularly the large number of employees covered by the Agreement and the very small number affected (significantly less than 1% of the cohort covered by the Agreement), notwithstanding the error, I am satisfied that there has been compliance.
