The Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2016 is a document that outlines the terms and conditions of employment for workers within the Victorian Public Service. This agreement was negotiated between the Victorian government and various unions representing workers in the public sector.

One of the key features of the agreement is a pay rise for employees. The agreement provides for a 3% pay increase each year for the life of the agreement. This ensures that workers are compensated fairly for their work and protects them against inflation.

In addition to the pay rise, the agreement also provides for improved job security for workers. This is achieved through provisions such as the establishment of a redeployment pooling system, which aims to reduce the number of redundancies in the public sector.

The agreement also recognises the importance of work-life balance and flexible working arrangements. This includes the provision of part-time and job-share arrangements, as well as the option for employees to work from home in certain circumstances.

Another important aspect of the agreement is the focus on professional development and career progression. The agreement provides for a range of training and development opportunities, including secondments, professional development leave, and study assistance.

The Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2016 is an important document for workers in the public sector in Victoria. It ensures fair pay and job security, while also recognising the importance of work-life balance and professional development. As the agreement continues to be implemented, it is likely to have a positive impact on the lives and careers of many public sector workers in Victoria.
