The Framework supports the Victorian Government’s access, use and sharing of data required to improve policies and service delivery for all Victorians.
The Framework consists of:
- The Victorian Public Sector Data Sharing Policy (Policy) which places a clear responsibility on all VPS agencies to share data with each other and adopts the National data sharing principles
- The Victorian Public Sector Data Sharing Heads of Agreement (Heads of Agreement) which operationalises the Policy and provides a common framework for documenting data sharing arrangements across government, while ensuring the right safeguards and controls are in place.
