Action Area - People

We will support our staff's development to ensure they, and the organisation as a whole, can transform Zoos Victoria into a zoo-based conservation organisation.

Only by investing in and nurturing the very best skills and qualities of our staff and partners will we be able to fully realise this transformation. Our continued engagement and inclusion of our people will result in strong leadership, further clarity of roles and responsibilities, and meaningful performance plans that align with corporate objectives to which staff willingly commit, ensuring a climate of high morale and achievement.

We will seek out and engage with partners who share our vision and work collaboratively with them to achieve mutually agreed conservation outcomes. We will protect and celebrate areas of cultural significance, and value and grow our Indigenous relationships.
