Publishing model and workflow

Vic.gov.au operates on a distributed authoring model. This means that Victorian public servants working within departmental branches and agencies are upskilled to develop, create, and edit pages themselves. Everything you need to know about working in the CMS is provided for you in our content and CMS guides.

Our workflow is labelled in the CMS as the following:

  • Draft > Needs review > Published

  • Archive pending > Archived

Publishing standard time frames

Single Digital Presence publishing hours are 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Content updates will be published within 2 business days from the time of request. Larger updates, such as publications or multiple pages, may take longer to be published due to the nature of the quality checking.

After-hours publishing requests

After-hours publishing can be scheduled during business hours. Exceptions include:

  • New messages from the Premier’s office

  • Pre-approved launches where there is a public health or safety reason

  • Updates to existing content if it is factually inaccurate.

Contact your department’s digital lead for after-hours publishing requests.
