The Victorian Government is one of Australia’s most extensive and diverse public sector employers, offering rewarding career pathways across policy, administration, health, education, justice, community services, emergency management, environment, infrastructure, transport, digital transformation, finance, regulatory compliance and project delivery. Victorian Government recruitment is highly competitive and based on demonstrated merit. This means your résumé, cover letter and selection criteria responses must clearly communicate your capability, professionalism, values alignment and suitability for the role. Our expert writers understand these expectations deeply and specialise in crafting targeted, persuasive and fully compliant documents.

Government Resumes maintains a detailed understanding of Victorian Government recruitment processes, including the VPS Capability Framework, behavioural indicators, STAR based selection criteria requirements, core public sector values, departmental workforce priorities and the evolving needs of agencies across Victoria. We closely monitor government reforms, policy developments, role structures, regulatory changes, community priorities and capability needs across Victorian Government departments. This ensures every document we prepare is aligned with current public sector standards and expectations.

We prepare a complete suite of bespoke documents tailored to Victorian Government applications including custom written résumés, persuasive cover letters, full selection criteria responses, capability statements, executive and leadership résumés, technical CVs, pitch documents, expressions of interest and professionally optimised LinkedIn profiles. Each document is written from scratch to reflect your experience, strengths, values and professional achievements.

Victorian Government applications often require clear, evidence based, STAR formatted responses that demonstrate your capabilities across areas such as stakeholder engagement, communication, teamwork, strategic analysis, problem solving, service delivery, project coordination, community impact, regulation, policy implementation, leadership, planning, innovation, adaptability and governance.

The Victorian public sector places strong emphasis on values such as integrity, respect, accountability, leadership, impartiality and responsiveness. Many roles require applicants to demonstrate alignment with these values within their selection criteria responses and supporting documentation. Our writers ensure that your documents reflect these principles clearly and authentically, while also highlighting your measurable achievements, contributions and service orientation.

We understand that Victorian Government recruitment is both detailed and competitive. Many applicants have the capability but struggle to present their experience in a structured, strategic and public sector appropriate format. Our role is to ensure your documentation stands out by being accurate, compelling, polished and fully aligned to departmental expectations.

Government Resumes also supports applicants seeking internal promotions, higher duties roles, reclassifications and senior executive opportunities within the Victorian Public Service. These applications often require complex STAR examples that demonstrate advanced leadership capability, strategic oversight, change management, program delivery, governance, collaboration, risk mitigation, stakeholder influence and organisational impact. We craft these examples with precision and authority to support your progression into senior roles.

Our approach is highly personalised. We begin with an in depth consultation to understand your background, strengths, achievements and Victorian Government career goals. This enables us to create documents that are not only tailored and professional but also an authentic reflection of your experience and aspirations.
