Transport is the lifeblood of Victoria and at the centre of our state’s liveability and future prosperity. Every day we help millions of people get to work and school, access critical services, as well as socialise, shop and participate in some of the world’s best cultural, artistic and sporting events. We’re changing. In July 2019, staff and functions from VicRoads, Public Transport Victoria and the Department of Transport came together to form a new Department of Transport (DoT). As the new Department of Transport evolves, so will you. Here you will work on great things that matter. It’s stimulating, varied and challenging – it’s work you can be proud of.
