Victorian Government Business Offices
The Department has a network of domestic Victorian Government Business Offices (VGBO)
including five metropolitan and 11 regional offices. These offices provide assistance for Victorian
business to increase access to export markets, facilitate investment, maintain a focus on growth
and provide direct engagement with Government.
Business Development Managers located in each of these offices are now closer to businesses in
metropolitan and regional areas and have provided opportunities for direct dialogue between
business and Government. A greater understanding of business at the enterprise level will assist
in informing future policy development.
The international VGBO network comprises 16 representative offices in strategic locations. This
includes the recently established offices in Mumbai, Beijing and Chengdu. In addition, the
Premier announced the establishment of a new office in Jakarta, Indonesia. The network consists
of six Commissioners and an Agent-General across the 16 offices. Commissioners and the
Agent-General are administered under the Agent-General and Commissioners for Victoria Act
2007.
The international VGBOs work in partnership with the Department to assist foreign direct
investment, export development and whole-of-government activities. They play a pivotal role in
raising the profile of Victoria and Victorian businesses overseas including managing the State’s
relationships in key regions.
In the financial year 2012-13, the international VGBO network contributed towards the facilitation
of more than $2.2 billion of capital investment into Victoria, with investment projects expected to
generate more than 4,700 new jobs in Victoria. The offices supported approximately 2,685
Victorian companies in international markets, largely through the Department’s Trade Mission
Program. Overall, the Department has reported that Victorian companies participating in trade
programs have projected export sales of $1.513 billion in the 13-24 months following the
mission1.

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION VALUES
AND EMPLOYMENT PRINCIPLES
Driving public sector values
The Department is committed to driving an organisational culture that attracts, develops,
motivates and retains a diverse team of talented, high-performing employees.
The Code of Conduct is promoted to new employees of the Department via an online learning
module and through the Department’s On-boarding and Induction Guide. The online compliance
module explores ethical issues, and promotes understanding and awareness of the rights,
responsibilities and behaviours expected of VPS employees. Completion of this module is a prerequisite for confirmation of appointment following a probationary period.
Agency personnel engaged through the seven VPS-approved Master Vendors are advised, prior
to commencing employment with the Department, that they are expected to abide by the Code of
Conduct and the Department’s values.
There is a discrete site on the Department intranet to inform contractors and consultants engaged
by the Department of their obligation to comply with the Code of Conduct, the Department’s
values and relevant policies and procedures.
Information in relation to public sector conduct and the VPS employment principles is promoted
via policies on the intranet and through expert advice provided by Human Resources.
Organisational values
Accountability, respect, responsiveness, integrity, impartiality and leadership
The Department has embraced these values to guide employee behaviour and promote a
productive and inclusive culture.
The values are progressively being embedded into a range of human resource activities,
including:



performance management systems (both executive and non-executive)
position descriptions for job advertisements
relevant learning and development programs
The Department recognises that living these values will help to create a high-performance
workplace that is characterised by positive relationships and respect for others.
(C)
SELECTION ON MERIT / EXEMPTIONS FROM ADVERTISEMENT
Recruitment and selection processes uphold merit and equity and are fully operational within the
Department. Policies, guidelines and associated documentation enshrining merit and equity
continue to be promoted through training, marketing material and expert advice provided by
Human Resources.
The authority to exempt vacancies from advertisement rests with the Secretary and/or authorised
delegates in prescribed circumstances.
(D)
DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
The Department’s dispute settlement process provides for disputes arising from a number of
areas, including actions arising from section 64 of the Public Administration Act 2004. The
Department’s procedures provide for early intervention and informal resolution processes to be
utilised wherever possible. There were no formal disputes lodged in 2012-13.

diverse employees; and people with a disability.
WOMEN’S AFFAIRS

experiences and perspectives, as well as opportunities for discussion and networking with
colleagues across the Department.
Guest speakers in the past 12 months have included Jenni Tosi, Chief Executive Officer of Film
Victoria, and Detective Inspector Kerryn Hynam, Victoria Police.




the Department’s programs and services pay due regard to cultural diversity in terms of
awareness, access and utilisation
cultural diversity is recognised and promoted in current and future programs as an asset
that encourages growth and development
the Department’s internal processes, systems and practices reflect a best-practice
approach to cultural diversity
The Department provides a full report on its initiatives and achievements in multicultural affairs
annually to the Victorian Multicultural Commission as required by the Multicultural Victoria Act
2011.
(J)
COMPLIANCE WITH THE DISABILITY ACT 2006
The Disability Act 2006 requires that all public sector bodies prepare a Disability Action Plan and
that Departments report on the implementation of their plan in their annual report (s.38).
The Department’s commitment to a more inclusive workforce for people with a disability has been
reinforced during 2012-13 with the launch of the Department’s 2012-2015 Disability Action Plan
(DAP). The DAP outlines the further actions that the Department will take to address potential
barriers for people with disabilities and includes four key principles that the Department:




is accessible to all our customers, stakeholders and staff with a disability
recognises the significant value of employing and retaining people with a disability
recognises, includes and promotes the participation of people with a disability in our
programs and in our community
has a shared accountability for reducing issues and barriers to people with a disability
A highlight this year was the celebration of International Day of People with Disability. The
Department held a staff forum, featuring Mark Glascodine – careers counsellor for people with a
disability, researcher, and recipient of the Winston Churchill Fellowship in 2011.
(K)
GRADUATE RECRUITMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
The Victorian Public Service Graduate Recruitment and Development Scheme (GRADS)
provides the Department with a valuable source of high-potential candidates with a variety of
academic qualifications and experience.
The Department’s continued commitment to utilising GRADS to build and develop a talent
pipeline was demonstrated by the recruitment and selection of six graduates for the 2012
program. All six graduates have been appointed to ongoing positions in the Department, following
successful completion of the 12-month program in January 2013.
The Department has recruited five graduates as part of the 2013 intake and will host a further
10 graduates on rotation during the course of the 2013 program.

MENTORING PROGRAM
Mentoring is often cited by corporate and government leaders as a key factor in successful
workforce capability development. The Department has implemented a mentoring program to
build and to achieve personal, professional and organisational goals. This program has been
running since 2002-03 and, in 2012-13, attracted 50 participants (25 mentees and their mentors)
representing about 13 per cent of the workforce.
The focus of the 2012-13 Mentoring Program was to inspire VPS mentees to strive for higher
levels of performance through the development of an ongoing relationship with a senior leader –
an executive officer who can support the mentee to realise their professional goals and career
opportunities.
(M)
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
During the 2012-13 financial year, 402 participants attended 34 Departmental and
interdepartmental learning and development workshops or participated in 21 eLearning programs.
(N)
SUPERANNUATION SCHEME
Department employees who commenced before 1994 are members of defined benefits schemes
such as the Revised, New or Transport schemes. These schemes are administered by the
Government Superannuation Office, now an operating division of Emergency Services and State
Superannuation. Since 1994, all new employees are able to nominate to have their employer
contributions made to any complying accumulation fund of their choice, including VicSuper.
(O)
DECLARATION OF PECUNIARY INTEREST
In accordance with the general guidelines for declaration of pecuniary interest, relevant officers
have completed a declaration for the financial year.
Shares held by senior officers in a statutory authority or subsidiary:

(P)
no officer holds shares as a nominee or beneficiary in a statutory authority or subsidiary
NATIONAL COMPETITION POLICY
Under the National Competition Policy, the guiding legislative principle is that legislation, including
future legislative proposals, should not restrict competition unless it can be demonstrated that:


the benefits of the restriction to the community as a whole outweigh the costs
the objectives of the legislation can only be achieved by restricting competition
The Department continues to comply with the requirements of the National Competition Policy.
Competitive neutrality requires Government businesses to ensure where services compete, or
potentially compete with the private sector, any advantage arising solely from their Government
ownership be removed if they are not in the public interest. Government businesses are required
to cost and price these services as if they were privately owned and thus be fully cost reflective.
Competitive neutrality policy provides Government businesses with a tool to enhance decisions
on resource allocation. This policy does not override other policy objectives of Government and
focuses on efficiency in the provision of service.
Page 29 of 116
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2012-13
Therefore the Department is working to ensure that Victoria fulfils its requirements on competitive
neutrality reporting for technological-based businesses against the enhanced principles as
required under the National Reform Agenda.
(Q)
DECLARATION OF MAJOR CONTRACTS
The Department has disclosed, in accordance with the requirements of Government policy and
accompanying guidelines, all contracts greater than $10 million in value that it entered into during

The Carers Recognition Act 2012 requires that all State Government departments responsible for
developing or providing policies, programs or services that affect people in care relationships
report on how they met their obligations under the Act in their annual report (s.12).
During 2012-13, the Department has continued to promote workplace flexibility for all employees,
including those in care relationships. Further work will be undertaken during the 2013-14 financial
year to make additional resources available to employees and their managers.
Appendix 6
Human Rights and Responsibilities Charter
The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (the Charter) applies to all public
authorities, including Government departments and agencies.
The Charter reinforces the protection of fundamental human rights and ensures that human rights
are taken into account by the Government when it makes administrative decisions.
The Department has a process for the assessment of new legislation and policies for their
compatibility with the Charter.
Staff in the Department participate in human rights training upon induction, and education about
human rights is encouraged and promoted on an ongoing basis.

Implementation of the Victorian Industry Participation
Policy
The Victorian Industry Participation Policy Act 2003 requires departments and public sector
bodies to report on the implementation of the Victorian Industry Participation Policy (VIPP).
Departments and public sector bodies are required to apply VIPP in all procurement activities
valued at $3 million or more in metropolitan Melbourne and for state-wide projects, or $1 million
or more for procurement activities in regional Victoria.
During 2012-13, the Department commenced three VIPP applicable procurements totalling
$44.16 million. Of those projects, one was located in regional Victoria and two in metropolitan
Melbourne.
The outcomes expected from the implementation of the VIPP to these projects where information
was provided are as follows:



an average 93 per cent local content commitment was made
a total of 349 FTE jobs were committed, including the creation of nine new jobs and the
retention of 340 existing jobs
a total of six FTE positions for apprentices/trainees were committed, including the
creation of three new apprenticeships/traineeships, and the retention of the remaining
three existing apprenticeships/traineeships
The commitments to the Victorian economy in terms of skills and technology transfer include use
of the latest building skills techniques and embedding new technology into building designs.
During 2012-13, the Department completed three VIPP applicable projects, collectively valued at
about $200 million. The outcomes reported from the implementation of the VIPP where
information was provided, were as follows:



an average of 88.3 per cent local content outcome was recorded
a total of 77 FTE positions were created
27 new apprenticeships/traineeships were created and 54 existing
apprenticeships/traineeships retained
Page 32 of 116
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2012-13
The benefits to the Victorian economy in terms of retention of skills from the completed projects
included the use of local carpentry, plumbing (hydraulics and HVAC), electrical (lighting and
power), stone paving and tiling, and rigging (glazing installation), joinery, lift mechanics,
and roofing and installation.
Reforms to VIPP were introduced on 1 January 2013 that reflect the Victorian Government
response to the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission’s Final Report: Inquiry into a
more competitive Victorian manufacturing industry. The Department, in collaboration with the
Industry Capability Network (Victoria) Limited, presented to businesses and public sector bodies
on how to implement the reforms over January to May 2013 in Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Appendix 11
Compliance with the Building Act 1993
All Government departments and funded agencies are required to comply with the requirements
of the Building Act 1993, the Building Code of Australia and statutory obligations set by
Government.
The Building Act 1993 applies to construction, demolition, removal and refurbishment of capital
projects, and the Building Code of Australia relates to standards set for building regulations.
Appendix 12
Office-based environmental impacts
The following information has been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Direction

The data reported represents the 12-month period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013. In
this period the Department was operating as the former Department of Business and
Innovation and its environmental impacts were primarily office-based.
Some adjustments have been made to the previous year to reflect departmental changes
and to provide the most comparable data.
Waste data was extrapolated from limited samples that are not statistically representative
and should be read with caution.

Explanatory notes:


The Department’s new office in Dandenong uses gas for air-conditioning and hot water.
No gas was used by Department offices in the 2011-12 reporting year.
The Department reduced its building stock during the period. Along with energy-saving
initiatives, this led to a decrease in the energy used.
Actions undertaken during the year to reduce energy use:

Purchased Australian-based carbon offsets equivalent to 25 per cent of the emissions
associated with the Department’s energy use.
Page 34 of 116
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2012-13



Worked with Shared Services to review and improve the energy efficiency of the
Department’s leased buildings. For example, the meeting room sensor lights and the
automatic switch off of non-emergency lights were tested and fixed where necessary.
Department offices in the Melbourne metropolitan area participated in Earth Hour 2013.
The Department’s Facilities and Environmental Management team worked with the
building managers at each of the sites to ensure that lighting, with the exception of
essential security lighting, was turned off.
Energy efficiency information for both the home and office was provided to staff through
internal communications.
2013-14 Targets:


Amend procurement policy to ensure only appliances with a minimum 3.5-star energy
and water rating can be purchased for Departmental offices.
Investigate implementing an automatic after- hour’s shutdown policy for Departmental
computers to reduce standby power consumption.

Explanatory notes:




The above data is derived from four waste audits, conducted by an external auditor over
a five-day period at 121 Exhibition Street, Melbourne.
Conducting four waste audits at 121 Exhibition Street goes beyond the requirements of
FRD24C. However, extracting annual data from these limited samples is still not
statistically representative and should be read with caution.
There is not a strong correlation between waste consumption and the number of FTE at
the 121 Exhibition Street office at the time of an audit.
The data presented above excludes recycled items such as toner cartridges and e-waste
collected by Green Collect and Cart Collect.
Actions undertaken during the year to reduce waste:





An awareness campaign was implemented during National Recycling Week 2012 which
sort to increase recycling rates of items such as toner cartridges and e-waste using Cart
Collect and Green Collect. In addition, posters and internal articles were prepared to
raise awareness of ‘what waste goes where’ and ‘what happens to the waste when it is
recycled.’
In the lead-up to the Christmas holiday period, the Department held a joint event with the
Department of Justice entitled Swap Share Save. The aim of the event was to raise
awareness of how goods around the office can be upcycled. Staff purchased upcycled
gifts from Green Collect, Oxfam and Dear Gladys. Staff also brought in goods to
exchange and donated work attire to Fitted for Work, a non-profit organisation that helps
disadvantaged women re-enter the workforce.
An environmental assessment of the Department’s five largest offices was conducted.
The purpose of the assessment was to identify opportunities for improvement in the
areas of energy, water, waste and transport. A key action resulting from the assessment
was to ensure all offices have the facilities to recycle their compost, paper, toners, ewaste and other general recyclable items such as plastics, glass, CDs and batteries.
A stationery bank was set up to store and redistribute old stationery items. Those that
could not be reused were donated to Green Collect to upcycle and recycle.
All Department staff were provided with a paper and landfill washable bin for their desks
to assist in the correct sorting of waste. Department staff members empty their waste into
the larger bins provided in the office. An awareness campaign was run earlier in the year
to promote the correct use of the bins.
2013-14 Targets:





four waste audits to be conducted by an external auditor
visit new Department offices and identify any waste issues. Roll out a Department waste
program in all new offices
upcycle and recycle former Department materials that can no longer be used
donate all business phones to the Melbourne Zoo’s ‘They’re Calling on You’ program
implement a waste campaign to increase the Department’s recycling rate

The Department’s procurement policy prescribes that only white Australian-made
A4 paper with a minimum of 80 per cent recycled content is to be purchased by the
Department. Exempt from this policy is the purchase of Nallawilli Copy Paper by the
Indigenous Economic Development for Small Business team. This exemption accords
with schedule 2 of the Victorian State Purchasing Contract supporting purchases from
indigenous enterprises that are certified as members of Supply Nation.
Some carbon neutral copy paper was purchased in 2012-13. This paper contains no
recycled content and therefore reduced the recycled paper purchased by the
Department. In line with Departmental policy, Corporate Express and staff responsible for
stationery orders have been informed of the difference and reminded to purchase only 80
per cent recycled content paper. This should return the recycling result to more than 90
per cent.
Internal articles were published detailing the number of reams used by the Department
last year, and the impact that paper use has on the environment.
Paper purchasers were asked to brainstorm ideas with their teams to suggest how further
reductions might be made.
A ‘paper tower’ poster campaign was run. Posters were placed in all utility rooms
comparing the stack of reams purchased by the Department last year to notable
skyscrapers across the world.
Used paper was made into notepads for staff.
Staff members were provided with information on how to use the newly installed
Microsoft Office 2010 package to decrease the need for printing.
2013-14 Targets:




increase recycled content paper purchasing by procuring a minimum 80 per cent recycled
content white A4 and A3 paper

Data was not available for all FRD24C sites and all periods. The 2011-12 data for the
Department’s former office at 55 Collins Street has been removed as no water data was
provided for this office during the reporting period. Water data for the Department’s new
office in Dandenong was not available for the months of March and July 2013, therefore
an average for these two months has been used.
A majority of the Department’s water usage is not separately metered. Water usage at
those sites without separate meters is apportioned as per the square metre of building
occupancy.
The largest factor influencing water consumption at 121 Exhibition Street, the office with
the highest number of Department staff, is how consistently the building’s blackwater
treatment plant operates. When functioning, the recycled water is used to flush the toilets,
reducing the amount of potable water used.
Increased water usage per FTE more reflects a reduction in the number of staff. There is
not a linear relationship between total water usage of a site and staff numbers.
Actions undertaken during the year to reduce water use:


explored water-saving initiatives with the shared services provider who manages the
Department’s tenancies
provided staff with information on water-saving tips and government incentives for the
home and office as part of Water Week 2012
2013-14 Targets:



amend procurement policy to ensure that only appliances with a minimum 3.5-star energy
and water rating can be purchased for Departmental offices
investigate water-saving opportunities at newly acquired Department sites
continue to work with the Shared Services Provider to upgrade leased sites so that the
offices are more water-efficient


Staff use of Department fleet vehicles and Victorian Government pool vehicles has been
separated as a different methodology has been used to calculate the environmental
impact of each vehicle pool.
The amount of kilometres travelled by aeroplane by Department staff increased last year.
This is due to the four Super Trade Missions conducted during 2012-13. The missions
are central to the Victorian Government’s increased focus on growing the State’s exports
and the State’s long-term international engagement activities. They aim to connect
Victorian businesses with opportunities in global markets through a sustained, large-scale
and targeted, trade and investment program.
Action taken during the year to reduce emissions related to travel:



purchased 279 tonnes of carbon offsets equivalent to the greenhouse gases produced
from the Department’s 2011-12 international air travel
for the past three years the Department has only purchased Australian hybrid cars for its
operational fleet. Generally, hybrids emit significantly less greenhouse gases than a
six cylinder car
promoted active transport with the Department’s Bicycle User Group and Corporate
Health Group. This included a Ride to Work day breakfast event
2013-14 Targets:



continue to promote active transport and the use of public transport through events such
as ‘Ride to Work Day’
purchase 530 tonnes of carbon offsets equivalent to 2012-13 international air travel
upgrade video-conferencing facilities to reduce travel between offices

Financial Performance
The Department’s net result from transactions in 2013 was a surplus of $14.8 million compared
with a defict of $16.6 million in 2012. The surplus in 2013 is largey due to timing differences
relating to trust income received in the year but the associated expenditure is planned for the
following year.
Total income from transactions increased by $63.4 million from the prior year as a result of
additional sales for the Kew Residential Services Redevelopment.
Total expenses from transactions increased by $32 million from the prior year as a result of cost
of sales for the Kew Residential Services Redevelopment, partly offset by a decrease in grant
payments reflecting the completion of programs.
Total assets increased by $132.9 million mainly due to expenditure on the Melbourne Markets
development at Epping ($107.7 million) and increase in cash and deposits ($28.2 million)
held by trust accounts.
Total liabilities increased by $13.5 million mainly due to cash deposits held on behalf of
Government clients for project works and customers’ deposits held for the purchase of
apartments for Parkville Gardens.

Compliance with the Protected Disclosure Act 2012
(formerly, the Whistleblowers Protection Act 2001)
The Protected Disclosure Act 2012 encourages and assists people to make disclosures of
improper conduct or detrimental action by public officers and public bodies. The Act provides
protections to people who make disclosures in accordance with the legislation and establishes a
system for the matters disclosed to be investigated and for rectifying action to be taken.
The Protected Disclosure Act 2012 commenced on 10 February 2013 when the Whistleblowers
Protection Act 2001 was repealed (transitional provisions provide for matters arising under the
former legislation to continue to be managed in accordance with that legislation). As the change
of legislation occurred during the financial year 2012-13, this report complies with the
requirements of both Acts for the relevant time periods.
The Department does not tolerate improper conduct by employees, nor the taking of reprisals
against those who come forward to disclose such conduct. The Department is committed to
ensuring transparency and accountability in its administrative and management practices, and
supports the making of disclosures that reveal corrupt conduct, conduct involving a substantial
mismanagement of public resources, or conduct involving a substantial risk to public health and
safety or the environment.
Page 88 of 116
Department of State Development, Business and Innovation Annual Report 2012-13
The Department will take all reasonable steps to protect people who make such disclosures from
any detrimental action in reprisal for making the disclosure.
Reporting procedures
The key contact for making disclosures of improper conduct or detrimental action by the
Department or its employees is the Protected Disclosure Coordinator. Disclosures may also be
made to:




the Secretary of the Department
a Protected Disclosure Officer
a manager or supervisor of a person who chooses to make a disclosure
a manager or supervisor of a person about whom a disclosure has been made
The Department’s Protected Disclosure Coordinator is:
Rosemary Martin
Director, Legal, Audit and Risk
Corporate Services and Communications
Level 31, 121 Exhibition Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
Phone: 9651 9862
Email: rosemary.martin@DSDBI.vic.gov.au
Alternatively, disclosures of improper conduct or detrimental action by the Department or its
employees may also be made directly to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption
Commission (IBAC).
The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) Victoria
Level 1, North Tower, 459 Collins Street

Phone: 1300 735 135
Mail: IBAC, GPO Box 24234, Melbourne, VIC 3000
