Editor's Notes

  • #6 As public sector workers we perform an important role. But it’s not only about what we do, it’s about how we do it, and this is where the public sector values come into play. They define how we interact with the community, with Government and with each other. They ask us to show leadership and to treat each other fairly and reasonably. Each section of the code is devoted to one of the seven Victorian public sector values.
  • #55 Today was an introduction to the code of conduct, the Victorian public sector values and the behaviours that support them. There are lots of ways you can put the code into practice. Here are some. Can you suggest other ways?
