Major Staff Cuts Loom for Jobs Department in Public Sector Overhaul

Creative Victoria’s music and screen workers face redundancy as part of a proposed restructure within the Jobs Department, sparking a mass union meeting on Monday. The public sector braces for up to 3000 lay-offs following the Silver review, with Treasurer Jaclyn Symes set to announce government decisions on cuts in the coming months.

This restructuring could see about 100 jobs cut within the department, significantly impacting Creative Victoria’s workforce. The review's outcomes are eagerly awaited, as they will outline the extent of the cuts and their implications for public sector employees across the board.
