The Liberal Government is committed to rebuilding essential services and supporting vulnerable Tasmanians.
Community sector organisations provide vital services in our community to help vulnerable and low income Tasmanians.
The Liberal Government understands the extraordinary work that they do. That’s why we will be providing an additional $9 million in funding to support these organisations.
We recognise that appropriate funding to the sector is vital to enable the community sector to continue to deliver those services.
The additional $9 million in funding which we will provide over the next four years will help community sector organisations continue to provide critical services.
In the upcoming budget we will be keeping our promises, fixing the budget mess and laying the foundations for the future.
We are also committed to providing $250,000 to National Disability Services (Tasmania) to help them develop a trained workforce ready to meet the increased service demands under the NDIS.
The Liberal Government is committed to assisting vulnerable Tasmanians through a partnership between the government, the community sector and the community as a whole.
We are focused on undertaking important reforms, focused on giving Tasmanians in need a hand-up through joined-up, integrated and coordinated support systems.
