DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, LAND, WATER AND PLANNING (DELWP)

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) both recognise that there is a unique opportunity for Victorian Departments to work together to meet their business needs in an innovative way by tapping into the autism advantage.

​

The RISE@DHHS Team was invited to participate in a Specialisterne training and assessment program to learn about performing the day to day tasks of a Data Analyst within the DELWP Team and for the most suitable candidates to be selected.

​

During the two-week program, Specialisterne offered guidance to the candidates and the hiring team at DELWP. Specialisterne provided autism awareness training to both the broader DELWP Team as well as the specific DCM DELWP Team, including the supervisor, buddy and mentor. This capacity building proved to be invaluable for the success of this program.

Data Analysts

​

There were 7 RISE@DHHS employees who seized this opportunity over a two-week period with 3 people being offered Data Analyst positions within the DCM Project. 

 

DELWP believe that the modernised digital cadastre will transform the way information is gathered, stored and accessed, providing a foundation for improved digital property and land registration services for Victorians.

 

For the selected team members who were offered positions at DELWP, their record management skillset offered strong transferable skills for the data analyst positions.

​

“The support and enthusiasm of Nick, Brett and Natalie from Specialisterne has been fantastic. I knew nothing about autism or being on the spectrum prior to engaging in this program. To think these talented individuals were being overlooked for positions due to standard selection processes is criminal. I appreciate being educated and made aware…”
