As the State's primary environmental regulator we manage and
influence human activities to protect, restore and enhance the
environment and to support human well-being. In a time of change,
with increasing expectations and complex challenges, we are committed
to developing an organisational culture that reflects our values
of empathy, sound judgment, cooperation, innovation and integrity.
EPA people
EPA staff are the heart of the organisation. We seek to attract
and retain the best, by providing the opportunity to tackle challenging
issues in a team based, collaborative and safe work environment.
We take a risk-based approach to solving important problems and
to decision-making. Practical and balanced judgments are guided
by sound science, analysis and evidence. We value the use of lateral
thinking and initiative to generate creative and innovative solutions.
We focus on outcomes and we are accountable for our decisions
and actions.
EPA relationships
We are committed to dealing with each other, our stakeholders
and the community respectfully and in a responsive manner. The
EPA values stakeholders' points of view and is empathetic to their
concerns. We are honest, open, transparent and timely in our communications.
Compliance and enforcement activities are underpinned by a predictable,
consistent and fair approach. We seek to work in partnerships
to tailor solutions that balance environmental, economic and social
needs.
EPA systems and processes
We value well-designed systems and processes that use best available
technology. We seek better systems and processes that support
EPA staff to work collaboratively, effectively and efficiently,
and ensure that decisions are timely, and based on relevant information
and knowledge.
