How it Works
The Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority
The Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority (VIDA) oversees the major transport and health infrastructure projects in planning and construction and is comprised of the following project teams:
- Level Crossing Removal Project (including the Regional Rail Revival and Melbourne Airport projects)
- Major Road Projects Victoria (including the North East Link and West Gate Tunnel projects)
- Metro Tunnel Project
- Victorian Health Building Authority
VIDA is headed up by the Director-General, Kevin Devlin and is supported by a team of people with expertise in planning and delivering major transport and health infrastructure projects in the fields of safety, resource planning, legal, commercial, community engagement, policy and finance.
VIDA works closely with the Department of Transport and Planning and the Department of Health to ensure major construction activities and disruptions are coordinated across the network. VIDA works with industry to ensure it has the skilled workers needed to deliver Victoria’s massive transport and health infrastructure construction programs.
VIDA Integrity Hotline
The VIDA Integrity Hotline is an independent service run by Stopline that gives you the opportunity to report your concerns – anonymously if you wish – in relation to alleged or suspected:
- Theft
- Fraud
- Dishonesty
- Corruption
- Policy breaches
- Unethical behaviour or
- Improper conduct
How it works
It does not matter how a concern is raised, once it reaches Stopline, it is assessed by an experienced professional and the report is forwarded to the Integrity Officer at VIDA who will also assess the report and determine next steps in accordance with relevant VIDA policies and procedures.
Each report receives its own Unique Reference Number and even if the person making the report prefers to remain anonymous, we encourage them to contact Stopline at regular intervals (we suggest every 2 weeks) to find out how their matter is progressing. Stopline staff will not divulge any information relating to a report unless the person requesting an update can provide sufficient information to identify them as the person who initially made the report.
Contacting Stopline at regular intervals also assists if the VIDA Integrity Officer has further queries to be put to the person making the report – Stopline is able to facilitate questions and answers between the VIDA Integrity Officer and the person making the report while protecting anonymity.
