Police say identification of staff’s background voluntary, as legal service calls for review

Photograph: Tracey Nearmy/AAPPhotograph: Tracey Nearmy/AAPVictoria police has failed to meet its Indigenous employment target of 1%, with just 0.55% of its workforce identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

A target for police command to have 1.6% of staff being from a culturally and linguistically background has been exceeded, with officers from those backgrounds now making up 9.2% of command. “By creating a culture where all employees feel safe from workplace harm and creating a more inclusive and culturally safe working environment, my hope is that Victoria police will be an employer of choice for Aboriginal people,” then-chief commissioner Graham Ashton wrote at the time.
