We are an independent statutory body responsible for managing Victoria’s environmental water entitlements, in cooperation with program partners, to improve the environmental health of rivers, wetlands and floodplains.  

Our core organisation values and example behaviours and attitudes are:

  • Collaboration - we respect and complement our partners
  • Integrity - we are accountable for our actions
  • Commitment - we value healthy rivers, wetlands and floodplains
  • Initiative - we aspire to be leaders in what we do

Our organisation is comprised of four part-time Commissioners, supported by a small office led by the Chief Executive Officer and specialist team members including those in technical, communication and administrative roles.

We are a diverse, inclusive and flexible workplace, supporting work-life balance, professional development and career growth.

Our corporate services are provided by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) and our teams commit to DEECA’s human resource policies, systems and procedures and organisational values. We recruit under the Victorian Public Service Enterprise Agreement 2024.

Opportunities to work with us are advertised on this page and can be found on the Victorian Government careers website. The Victorian Government careers website also provides information about the application process, tips for applying as well as useful information about working in government.
