A Fairer Victoria in 2005 and 2006
In April 2005 the Government released A Fairer Victoria - the Victorian Government Social Policy Action Plan (PDF 2.15mb), a $788 million investment in 14 strategy areas aimed at reducing disadvantage and creating opportunities.

On 1 June 2006 the Deputy Premier announced A Fairer Victoria – progress and next steps, which invests a further $848 million in the 14 strategy areas.

Of particular focus this year will be:
  • meeting the needs of Melbourne’s growth areas and Victoria’s disadvantaged places;
  • giving children the best start possible in life;
  • disadvantage caused by homelessness;
  • disadvantage within multicultural communities; and,
  • improving community transport.
