The Department of Premier and Cabinet is the lead agency in the Tasmanian State Service. The Department is responsible to the Premier and the Minister for Local Government, Minister Assisting the Premier on Climate Change and Minister for Veterans Affairs.

The Department provides a broad range of services to the Cabinet, other members of Parliament, Government agencies and the community.  The Department works closely with the public sector, the community, local government, the Australian Government and other state and territory governments.

The Department also provides administrative support to the State Service Commissioner and the Tasmania Together Progress Board, each of which is separately accountable and reports directly to Parliament.
