The Division is a fast paced, collaborative and high performing environment.

The National Strategy and Reform Branch provides strategic advice to ministers and senior officials in national negotiations, and ensures national, whole of Victorian Government and interagency issues are factored into the department's policy development and program delivery. It works across the department on the development, implementation and reporting of portfolio intergovernmental agreements, manages key partnership arrangements, and supports senior executive participation in governance bodies on the department's behalf.

The Education System Projects Branch is responsible for developing and driving strategic policy projects for the school education sector, with a focus on developing policy and reform options. The branch leads and contributes to strategic projects at every stage of the policy cycle, including research, analysis, development of options, preparation of reports and advice, and support for implementation.

The Education Policy Branch prepares evidence-based advice about reform and investment priorities for the education portfolio, with a focus on lifting student outcomes. The Branch leads education policy development and provides strategic advice to decision makers about school reform.
