Victoria’s police union has secured a shift to a nine-day fortnight in an in-principle agreement struck with the force. The Police Association Victoria reached the agreement on Friday, also securing a staggered move towards nine-hour shifts and a 16 per cent pay rise over four years. “Negotiations over the last 12 months have been long and protracted but have ultimately led to an outcome that is good for Victoria Police, our members and the community,” union secretary Wayne Gatt said.
“Pleasingly, we now have an agreed pathway to deliver extended shifts to our members within the requirements set out in the deed signed by Victoria Police, TPAV and the Victorian Government in December last year,” the Victoria Police spokesperson said. “This phased approach means the community should be assured Victoria Police will have time to conduct the rigorous analysis and planning needed to ensure community safety is not impacted as extended shifts are gradually implemented.
