Strategic Plan

Our 2025-2027 focus

OVIC aims to uphold its position as an independent integrity agency that champions the information rights of all Victorians.
The renewed vision aims to foster a public sector culture that builds on the aspirations of the previous 3 years, with information rights and protections at the forefront of everything we do.

By undertaking more proactive engagement and modelling and driving best practice, OVIC aims to create an environment of certainty that can be reflected in all Victorian Public Sector agencies.

2021 to 2024: What we’ve achieved

From 2021-24, OVIC’s strategic plan focused on the achievement of four principal aspirations:

• To help Victorians exercise and protect their information rights.
• To empower Victorian agencies to uphold information rights.
• To be seen by stakeholders as a trusted authority.
• To be a highly effective organisation that delivers on its legislative duties.

Guided by these aspirations, 151 initiatives were identified as key to achieving the goals set out in OVIC’s strategic plan. Of these initiatives, 117 were able to be completed in the relevant period or deemed ongoing. Changes to OVIC’s operating environment was the most significant factor for those initiatives that were not completed within the time frame, with OVIC updating its approach in light of changing circumstances to refocus on our vision.
