Working for Victoria Police
the independent 2026 guide

Victoria Police employed 15,564 police (full-time equivalent) at 30 June 2026, down from 16,059 two years earlier. Alongside them work about 1,432 Protective Services Officers (PSOs), 292 Police Custody Officers and a growing reserve of retired officers brought back as frontline support. The force says it has more than 1,500 vacancies, and The Police Association Victoria cites 1,407.

Your pay and conditions come from the Victoria Police (Police Officers, Protective Services Officers, Police Reservists and Police Recruits) Enterprise Agreement 2025, approved by the Fair Work Commission in April 2025 after a long dispute. It runs to 31 May 2028, with the last scheduled pay rise on 1 June 2027. Because it is a federal enterprise agreement, it is unusually detailed: almost every allowance has a dollar figure for each year.

Victoria has several ways to wear the uniform. Police officers are the main career; PSOs are armed officers who patrol train stations and protect key sites; Police Custody Officers are public servants who run police cells; and Police Reservists are former officers rehired as frontline support at $86,188 full time. Specialist areas paid under the agreement include the Air Wing, dog handlers, crime scene and fingerprint services, collision reconstruction, the Special Operations Group and covert units.

Victorian salaries look lower than NSW's at first glance, but they are built differently. The figure in the agreement is the "ordinary rate of pay", and for constables to senior sergeants it already includes a 13% commuted penalty covering weekend, public holiday and shift work. There is no separate loading on top. A probationary constable is on $84,060, which is about $2,563 a fortnight after tax.

Source: Victoria Police Enterprise Agreement 2025, Schedule A. Rates include the 13% (or 16.4% for Inspector and above) commuted penalty. Excludes the Operational Readiness, General Duties, capability, wellbeing and retention allowances.

Each step of the agreement lifts Schedule A rates by only 3%, yet the deal was reported as 4.5% a year. The difference comes from new allowances that phase in, chiefly the Operational Readiness Allowance and the General Duties Allowance. So to compare Victoria fairly with other forces, add those allowances back in (see the next section). The full rank-by-rank scales are in the Victoria Police salary guide.

The allowances are where Victorian pay closes the gap. Most general duties members receive several flat annual allowances on top of their salary, each with its own rate by rank.

General Duties Allowance (uniform GD at a station)	$1,322

Totals calculated by us from Schedules A, B, D, E and F of the 2025 agreement. The Operational Readiness Allowance needs OSTT qualification and mandatory learning; the GDA excludes highway patrol, investigations and PSOs.

After 2026-27 tax that package is about $2,802 a fortnight, before any shift loadings or overtime. That's $239 a fortnight more than the salary alone suggests.

Shift loadings

Even though the commuted penalty sits inside salary, evening, early morning and weekend hours attract extra loadings on top (cl 79). They're a percentage of the base hourly rate, which is your ordinary rate divided by 1.13. For a constable at point 1 that base is about $37.54 an hour (our calculation).

Intrusive weekend (01:00-07:00)	57.76%	about $21.68 an hour

The weekend rates also apply on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day and Australia Day. Other public holidays are compensated through leave.

Overtime is time and a half for the first three hours on a weekday, then double time, and double time on weekends and public holidays, all on the same ÷1.13 base. Detectives get commuted overtime instead: $14,157 a year at constable and senior constable level.

Country and remote postings

Victoria doesn't pay big cash incentives for country service. The agreement pays a Remote Allowance of $1,480.58 a year at 33 named stations such as Mallacoota, Omeo and Robinvale, a One Member Station Allowance of $14,157 a year in lieu of overtime, a Living Away From Home Allowance of $424.37 a week, and a one-off relocation allowance of $1,761.17. Probationary constables placed in the country serve a two-year minimum before transfer.

Victoria has one of the most open entry bars in Australia: no minimum education and no upper age limit.

The process has around ten stages and averages about six months, though official text also says six to nine months. Expect an exam, a fitness session at the Academy, psychological testing, a medical you pay for, and a 40 to 50 minute panel interview in Docklands.

The Victoria Police Entrance Exam

Must pass all four parts. 3 months to sit (the PSO process lists a 2-month window). Exemptions are possible for degree holders, ATAR 65+ with English 25+, ADF members, paramedics and firefighters, VPS Grade 3+, final-year criminology students and others. The same exam is used for PSOs. The fee is $284. Writing and report-writing are where many applicants lose marks. Our Victoria Police entrance exam guide breaks down each part, and the how to become a police officer in Victoria guide covers every stage.

Victoria's fitness standard is the least demanding of the big three eastern forces on aerobic fitness, but it still has six components and the swim is done beforehand.

The test takes about 1.5 hours at the Academy. PSOs use the same fitness standards but no swim is listed.

For context, NSW asks for beep test Level 7.1 and 25 push-ups. Victoria's 5 consecutive push-ups and level Level 5.01 are achievable for most people with eight to twelve weeks of training, but don't underestimate the swim: 100 metres in four minutes, alone and without stopping. Our Victoria Police fitness test guide has a training plan.

Recruits train at the Victoria Police Academy in Glen Waverley on the 25-week Police Foundation Training Program, which was cut from 31 weeks in 2026. You're paid from day one.

Being sworn in at week 12 is a real advantage: you move to full constable pay part-way through training. Recruits more than 40 km from the Academy can live in for $529.50 a fortnight including meals. Recruits also accrue recreation leave during training, at about 5.1 hours per completed week.

Victoria Police is doubling its intake from 650 to 1,300 recruits a year, inducting 52 recruits every two weeks. A regional academy in Mildura is due to open on 18 January 2027 with a 25-week program for up to 25 recruits per course, two courses a year (reported by the ABC; not confirmed in the agreement). Probation runs to week 116, two years and 13 weeks from your start, and ends with the POL50124 Diploma of Policing. Read more in our Victoria Police Academy guide.

Victoria Police says plainly that there is no lateral transfer between Australian police services. Instead, operational police from Australia, New Zealand and the UK can have their prior service recognised through a tailored training plan.

Victoria's headline is nine weeks a year, but read it carefully: that bundle includes two weeks in lieu of public holidays (you work them as rostered) and ten days of accrued time off.

Annual leave

What the agreement says

9 weeks (342 hours) a year: 7 weeks (266 hours) recreation leave plus 10 days (76 hours) accrued time off, credited at the start of each financial year (cl 130.1-130.2). The official site describes it as 5 weeks + 2 weeks in lieu of public holidays + 10 days ATO. Leave loading: 17.5% of the base rate on the first 152 hours of recreation leave per financial year (Superintendents/Commanders on the Superintendent PP1 rate) (cl 131.1).

Personal and carer's leave

What the agreement says

Personal/carer's leave: 228 hours granted in advance for the first 2 years after initial training, then 114 hours a year; recruits 5.85 hours per 4 weeks of training (the NES applies where better) (cl 113). The official site says 15 days a year.

Long service leave

What the agreement says

3 months on full pay or 6 months on half pay after 10 years; pro rata after 7 years (cl 164.1; quantum from the official site).

Parental leave

What the agreement says

Primary caregiver: 16 weeks paid plus up to 36 weeks unpaid. Secondary caregiver: 4 weeks paid plus 12 weeks additional paid (with conditions) plus unpaid leave up to 52 weeks. Paid maternity leave (birth, not primary carer): 14 weeks paid with 31 weeks' service. Paid partner leave: 4 weeks (cl 147, 148, 150, 151).

Full-time members work 80 hours a fortnight, with part of each hour accruing as time off, so the average is 76 hours. The 16 weeks of paid primary-carer parental leave is more generous than NSW's 14. See the Victoria Police leave guide.

This is Victoria's standout benefit. Operational police and PSOs automatically join the ESSS Defined Benefit Fund, where your retirement lump sum is a multiple of your final average salary rather than whatever a market-linked balance happens to be.

ESSS Defined Benefit Fund (ESSSuper)

Status

Open

How it works

Operational police officers join automatically; PSOs starting on or after 5 Jul 2010 are classified operational and also join. Lump sum = Accrued Benefit Multiple x Final Average Salary (average of the last 2 years). Member contributions 0/3/5/6/7% after tax (catch-up 8/9/10%); the default is nil until the member elects. 7% for 30 years reaches the maximum multiple of 7.5 x FAS (8.4 untaxed Optional Benefit). Lump sum payable from age 50 (not disability); operational members who leave at 55+ get a lump sum rather than a disability pension.

ESSS Accumulation Fund

Status

Open

How it works

Police Reservists are members of the ESSS Accumulation Fund.

Police Custody Officers (VPS) accumulation

Status

Open

How it works

PCOs receive 12% of base salary as accumulation super.

Scheme	Status	How it works
ESSS Defined Benefit Fund (ESSSuper)	Open	Operational police officers join automatically; PSOs starting on or after 5 Jul 2010 are classified operational and also join. Lump sum = Accrued Benefit Multiple x Final Average Salary (average of the last 2 years). Member contributions 0/3/5/6/7% after tax (catch-up 8/9/10%); the default is nil until the member elects. 7% for 30 years reaches the maximum multiple of 7.5 x FAS (8.4 untaxed Optional Benefit). Lump sum payable from age 50 (not disability); operational members who leave at 55+ get a lump sum rather than a disability pension.
ESSS Accumulation Fund	Open	Police Reservists are members of the ESSS Accumulation Fund.
Police Custody Officers (VPS) accumulation	Open	PCOs receive 12% of base salary as accumulation super.

Contribute 7% for 30 years and ESSS pays 7.5 times your final average salary as a lump sum.

You choose your own member contribution (0, 3, 5, 6 or 7% after tax), and the default is nil until you elect, which is a trap for new recruits: the multiple you build depends on what you put in. The employer pays into the pooled fund at an actuarially determined rate, so there's no published percentage per member; once you reach the maximum multiple, the employer pays extra accumulation contributions (12% in 2026-27).

Retirement age: Not confirmed from a primary source. Lump sums are payable from age 50. Model your options in the Victoria Police super guide.

Work injuries are covered by Victorian WorkCover. On top of that, the agreement pays accident make-up pay so your income doesn't fall to the WorkCover rate straight away.

If you're disabled before 55, ESSS pays a disability pension based on your accrued multiple plus a projected multiple to age 55 at the maximum rate. A $15 million Disability and Death Contingency Fund, announced in October 2023, provides lump-sum TPD or death payments to members aged 55 to 59 who haven't reached the maximum benefit. Make-up pay stops once an ESSS disability benefit starts.

More than 700 Victoria Police employees were reported to be on WorkCover in 2026, a figure from a secondary source we couldn't verify. The Victoria Police workers comp guide and medical retirement guide cover the process. If you need support now, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636, or 000 in an emergency.

Police numbers have fallen three years running even as applications climb. The force's answer has been a faster academy, a doubled intake, a second academy in Mildura and bringing retired officers back. The November 2026 state election will shape what comes next.

Election pledges are commitments, not funded policy. The Liberal pledge is from a secondary report.

The practical effect for a new recruit: you'll likely be posted where the gaps are, and the first two years can be busy. For an experienced officer, the vacancies are leverage when negotiating a return or a transfer of skills.

A fair summary, based on the agreement and the evidence above.

If long-term financial security matters to you, ESSS is a reason to choose Victoria that no salary table shows. Compare it with Queensland's 18% accumulation super on the forces comparison hub.

These points are open. We've said so rather than guessing.
