The Community Development Division brings together a number of interrelated activities that have a particular focus on improving the quality of life of all Tasmanians, building community capacity, addressing social disadvantage and increasing social inclusion.

This Community Development Division is comprised of the following:

• Office of Aboriginal Affairs
• Office of Children and Youth Affairs
• Disability Bureau
• Multicultural Tasmania
• Seniors Bureau
• Women Tasmania

The Community Development Division recognises and values the important role that local government, non-government community organisations and community groups play in delivering projects, programs and events that support Tasmanian communities.

The work of the Community Development Division is fundamental to implementing Tasmania Together, the community's plan for the social, economic and environmental future of the State. As a whole the Division works by strengthening community connections and connectedness, community consultation and engagement, network development, promoting community self help and capacity building, supporting proactive people and organisations, assisting leadership and skills development within community groups, building communities through partnerships.

Grants

The grant programs previously administered by the Office of Children and Youth Affairs, Multicultural Tasmania, the Seniors Bureau and Women Tasmania will now be offered as a combined program. Find out more about the Community Capacity Building Grants Program.
