Victorian public servants will be offered specialist counselling when the result of the national same-sex marriage postal survey is announced.
A state government spokeswoman said two existing public service specialist LGBTQI counsellors will be available for all staff on Wednesday.
"The plebiscite is unnecessary, expensive and hurtful. It has been a long, damaging and divisive campaign that has affected many in our community," she said in a statement on Monday.

Victorian Equality Minister Martin Foley said it was up to everyone to decide how to support staff when the result is announced.
