The Victorian Public Service (VPS) is the centre of Government and delivers the key policies and programs of the elected Government. Ten Departments and about 16 Administrative Offices make up the VPS. Key Administrative Offices include the Environment Protection Authority, State Revenue Office and Victoria Police. See Departments & Agencies. The broader public sector is made up of about 240 agencies which are statutory or other bodies. They operate more autonomously to deliver on legislation or are business enterprises. Many agencies operate in the education, health and water sectors.
