The hearing has resumed with Public Sector Commissioner Brigid Monagle commencing her evidence by reading an opening statement.

Commissioner Monagle says: "The Victorian Public Sector Commission has been working to make change but we know First Peoples employees still experience discrimination based on race, feel less safe to raise concerns and take on an often invisible cultural load.

"None of this is, or has ever been, acceptable. I look forward to the Commission's findings and recommendations. I am deeply committed to working together for a Better Future for First Peoples in Victoria."
