Wur-cum barra

Wur-cum barra, the Victorian Public Sector – Indigenous Employment Strategy was developed by the Victorian Government in consultation with Indigenous people to improve the diversity and responsiveness of the Victorian Public Sector to Indigenous issues.

It establishes a 'whole of government' strategic framework for coordinating and sustaining government efforts to achieve a greater representation of Indigenous people within all areas and levels of the public sector.

The phrase "Wur-cum barra" has its origin in Wathawurrung language (south-western Victoria) and means “to work”.
