The Department of Transport (DOT) is a government department in Victoria, Australia. Commencing operation on 1 January 2019, it is responsible for ongoing operation and coordination of the state's transport networks, as well as the delivery of new and upgraded transport infrastructure.

Along with the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, the DOT was formed in machinery of government changes made by Premier Daniel Andrews after the re-election of his Labor government at the 2018 Victorian state election. The re-shuffle saw the "super-ministry" Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources abolished and its functions reassigned. The DOT will support three ministers in the second Andrews Ministry, holding five ministerial portfolios: Jacinta Allan, Minister for Transport Infrastructure, will lead Melissa Horne, Minister for Public Transport and Minister for Ports and Freight, and Jaala Pulford, Minister for Roads and Minister for Road Safety and the Transport Accident Commission.[1]

Background

Transport in Victoria has been managed by various government departments across different ministries. Following each state election, the Premier issues a Machinery of Government instrument, outlining how government responsibilities will be overseen by ministers and the organisation of the bureaucracy.

The first Victorian government agency with a unified approach to transport planning was the Ministry of Transport, formed in 1951 as the earliest precursor to the current DOT. Renamed as the 'Department of Transport' in 1996, the agency underwent numerous changes in organisational structure.[2] Transport responsibilities were merged under the Department of Infrastructure under the Kennett Government until the second incarnation of the Department of Transport was formed in 2008, resulting in the passage of the Transport Integration Act 2010.

Eventually becoming the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, further changes were announced with the establishment of Transport for Victoria in June 2016 to provide a "new central transport agency to coordinate Victoria’s growing transport system and plan for its future".[3] Following the 2018 state election, the DOT was re-established with Corey Hannett as its Acting Secretary.
