Victoria Police Careers and Employment

Good place to work and rewarding if you put in the extra effort. Decent pay for the work. However, there are moments of high pressure where you have to be be at your peak to perform. There is little room for error.

Inconsistent management and poor processes

The work can be really rewarding, but I found that it’s an uphill battle to implement meaningful change which can be a bit disheartening. The organisation’s hr and corporate support are also very old school and there are regular recruitment freezes.There is a good approach to team work and collaboration but it’s typically in silos which makes high impact work difficult. I also found staff are often treated as replaceable and flexible work is only supported on the basis of childcare needs. Hopefully this changes over time.

Decent place to work

Good people who care about what they do. Access to a Challenging variety of work but long career stints are generally required to move ahead and across

Loved my time at VicPol

Work was a family for me. One office I worked at was not so great but my last decade was excellent. My managers were very supportive when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer and enabled me to be more flexible with my work/life balance. Without my work family I don’t know how I would’ve survived that period of my life
