Victorian State Budget 2020-21 – ECCV summary and analysis

This report was prepared by the ECCV Policy Team and provides a summary and analysis of the Victorian State Budget 2020-21.

The 2020-21 Victorian State Budget has been handed down during the financial year due to the COVID-19 pandemic creating several disruptions and crises that required urgent response by the public sector. Prior to the Budget being handed down the Crisis Council of Cabinet allocated approximately $12.3 billion to address COVID-19 since March – many of these initiatives have commenced and are reflected in this year’s Budget.

This year’s State Budget is unprecedented in several ways. It makes an explicit commitment to prioritising social and economic recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Victorian Government has committed several billion dollars across a range of policy areas to promote health, social inclusion, and business activity.
