VicRoads is progressing too. In August 2022, we started on a new chapter when the Victorian State Government partnered with Aware Super, Australian Retirement Trust, and Macquarie Asset Management to operate registration and licensing services on its behalf.

We work collaboratively with the Victorian State Government to ensure we fulfill regulatory requirements, deliver State projects and safeguard customer data. The Victorian State Government retains sole responsibility for road access, infrastructure and safety.

About the opportunity

As the Customer Accessibility and Inclusion Lead at VicRoads, you will play a pivotal role in shaping inclusive, accessible experiences for all customers. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and external partners, you will ensure accessibility is integrated throughout the product and service lifecycle—from strategy to implementation. Your expertise in accessibility standards and inclusive design will be key in identifying barriers, co-designing practical solutions, and embedding best practices across digital and non-digital channels.

In this leadership role, you’ll advocate for the diverse needs of customers, employees, and stakeholders by translating research and lived experiences into meaningful change. You’ll lead accessibility audits, support capability building, and influence policy and design decisions that drive equity and universal access. This is a unique opportunity to foster a culture of inclusion at scale, ensuring VicRoads’ services are not only compliant, but truly equitable, intuitive, and trusted by all.
