In 2021-22 the Commission is reporting a net deficit from transactions of $1.04 million. The deficit in net results from transactions is mainly due to the Victorian Leadership Academy and Public Sector Innovation Fund utilising funds from the previous years.

The Commission’s net asset base as at 30 June 2022 is $7.58 million There is an increase of $1.84 million from 2020-21. The increase in net asset base has been primarily driven due to the increase in the various initiatives undertaken by the Commission during the year.

In 2021-22 Careers.Vic improved its user experience and invested in customer service training. The customer satisfaction score for actual recruiters and applicants had a positive trend. A key reason for the below target customer satisfaction score is that the platform is seen by some users as an entry point to Government for non-recruitment related matters, for example lockdown, elections, vaccinations.
In 2021-22 23% of job advertisements (4,447 job ads) were advertised externally. Of the 4,447 roles that were advertised externally, 42% were in Legal, Medical, Nursing, Environment and Community Services. There is evidence to suggest that these roles are difficult to fill through internal advertisement on the Jobs and Skills Exchange.
Assessments were completed at a slower pace than anticipated due to factors including PEER policy requirements driving significant volume of ‘on-demand’ assessments; significant growth in total number of assessments required; staffing and recruitment of staff during Covid-19 restrictions; significance of this reform across Government required considerable stakeholder management.
