What should I include in my submission?

To better align submissions with current Government Budget priorities, the Treasurer has endorsed a targeted community consultation process. It is requested that your submissions focus on the following areas:

  • Supporting Tasmanians with the rising cost of living;
  • Improvements that could be made to existing Government services or processes, including grant application and/or management processes; and
  • Opportunities to improve services that are directed towards vulnerable people.

The information provided in the body of your submission should provide supporting details, information, and discussion in relation to any recommendations. This will assist readers in gaining a good understanding of why the issue is important to you or your organisation.
