Inclusion Plan To ensure consistency across all departments, the Victorian Government Aboriginal Inclusion Framework proposed that all Action Plans cover the following areas of focus: leadership and governance; policy development; programs and services; workplace diversity; and communication. This last point of communication is critical for the success and as such will underpin every item in this plan. These focus areas have been addressed in our goals (as detailed in DTF’s Action Plan matrix on page 10). DTF has also taken into account the Close the Gap action areas and Kareeta Yirramboi’s objectives as part of the plan to ensure these are addressed. Close the Gap In an important speech, marking National Close the Gap Day on 24 March 2011, the whole of Victorian Government’s approach to closing the gap between Aboriginal and nonAboriginal Victorians was outlined. Our action plan will seek to close the gap in the following key areas: Aboriginal public sector employment; Aboriginal procurement; Aboriginal representation on government boards and committees; and mainstream services. Karreeta Yirramboi Karreeta Yirramboi is the Victorian Aboriginal Public Sector Employment and Career Development Action Plan 20102015, which aims to increase Aboriginal participation in the Victorian Public Service workforce. Our action plan aligns with Kareeta Yirramboi in the following key areas: building pathways between education and employment; making DTF an employer of choice for Aboriginal people; creating an inclusive workplace; supporting DTF to recruit, develop and retain Aboriginal employees; and providing leadership and accountability. Victorian Aboriginal Economic Strategy The Victorian Aboriginal Economic Strategy, 2013–2020 states that ‘Economic prosperity is central to Victoria’s Aboriginal agenda. The vision is building opportunity for all Aboriginal Victorians’. The Economic Strategy has three goals: build foundations and aspirations for jobs and business throughout life; more job opportunities across the economy; and grow Aboriginal enterprise and investment.
