As an employer of choice, we value the contribution of people with disability. We recognise their contribution in our organisation.
Victoria Police commits to 12% employment of people with disability by 2025 within Victorian Public Services (VPS) roles.
We commit to offering the necessary reasonable adjustments for achieving this outcome.
Employment pathways
Each year Victoria Police employs graduates with disability through the disability pathway of the Victorian Government Graduate Program.
Applicant support
From advertisement through to starting in a new role, applicants can seek reasonable adjustment to ensure the recruitment process allows all prospective applicants an equal opportunity to demonstrate that they are the best person for the job.
For further information, contact our recruitment team by:
- calling (03) 8335 6004
- emailing VPSRECRUITMENT@police.vic.gov.au.
Candidates with disability may not be eligible for police officer, protective services officer (PSO) and police custody officer (PCO) roles. The Equal Opportunity Act 2010 allows exemptions where it is reasonably necessary to protect the health or safety of any person or of the public.
Please ensure you meet the entry requirements of the police officer, PSO or PCO roles before you apply.
Employee support
The Victoria Police Enablers Network (VP Enablers) is the voice of Victoria Police employees with disability. The Network is comprised of employees with disability and their supporters, including police members, PSO and VPS from across Victoria.
Victoria Police has a Reasonable Workplace Adjustment policy to improve its capacity to employ, develop and retain people with disabilities. In addition, Victoria Police has a practice guide to support understanding and ensure compliance with policy.
All Victoria Police staff are invited to our annual celebration of International Day of People with Disability. The event includes an award ceremony to recognise Victoria Police employees, police stations or work units that have provided outstanding service to people with disability.
