The policy must be applied by all Victorian government departments and agencies for any type of project with a value of:
- $1 million or more in regional Victoria, or
- $3 million or more in metropolitan Melbourne or for state-wide activities.
Local Jobs First may also be voluntarily applied by government departments or agencies to projects below the $1 million or $3 million thresholds.
While full and detailed information on applying Local Jobs First for Government Agencies is contained in the Local Jobs First Agency Guidelines, the menus below provide some additional practical guidance for departments and agencies.
