The Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR) is a department in the state of Victoria, Australia. Commencing operation on 1 January 2023, it was created in machinery of government changes following the return of the Labor government led by Premier Daniel Andrews at the 2022 state election, in which the department was renamed from the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions.[1][2]

The DJSIR supports nine ministers across 15 portfolios, broadly related to economic development. It has the same responsibilities as the previous Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions, with the exception of resources and agriculture which were transferred to the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and local government which was transferred to Department of Government Services. Responsibilities for TAFE, skills, training and higher education were also transferred from the Department of Education and Training to the new department.[3]
