The Fair Jobs Code for the Community Services Sector (the CS Code) has commenced.

The CS Code is designed to promote safe and secure work for the community services workforce. It is part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to recognise good employers and complements other Victorian Government efforts to support the community services sector to attract and retain skilled workers.

Compliance with the CS Code is a condition of Victorian government funding. Organisations within scope of the CS code are required to comply with the code and inform the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (the department) of any adverse ruling or enforceable undertaking made against the organisation under employment, industrial relations or workplace health and safety legislation. The department recently wrote to organisations in scope of the CS code.

Information on the CS Code including criteria for determining whether an organisation is within scope of the code is available on the CS Code website at https://www.dffh.vic.gov.au/fair-jobs-code

Please contact CScode@dffh.vic.gov.au if you have any questions or would like further information.
