To ensure business conditions are primed for growth, the Victorian Industry Policy provides a new framework focusing on industry competitiveness, productivity and economic resilience.

Building on 4 key principles, this policy sets out a path that will see our industries thrive, propelling our economy forward and improving the lives of all Victorians.

These principles are:

  • Skills for an evolving economy: Victorian industry requires a workforce with the right skills, agility and resilience to drive inclusive job creation, long-term productivity and economic growth.
  • Growing our industrial base: faster adoption and diffusion of technology and innovation, and improved business conditions, are critical to safeguarding essential capabilities and maintaining competitiveness.
  • Strategic industry development: Victoria can capitalise on existing strengths and emerging opportunities to drive maximum economic and social value; and capture a larger share of Commonwealth funding.
  • Energy security and transition: ensuring affordable and reliable energy supply is essential so Victorian industry remains globally competitive throughout the energy transition.
