First released in 2001, Tasmania Together is the community’s vision for Tasmania’s future. Its 12 goals and 143 benchmarks reflect extensive community, industry and Government consultation undertaken during 2000 and again in 2005.

The Tasmania Together Progress Board is the custodian of Tasmania Together. Established in 2001, the Board is an independent statutory authority that reports directly to Parliament. It is made up of nine members from a variety of backgrounds.

Responsibility for achieving the goals of Tasmania Together rests with every Tasmanian, through the actions of industry, Government and community. The latest information on progress toward our shared goals is available via the Tasmanian Together Progress Board's Progress Report 2008 on the Tasmania Together website. In addition, www.ttbenchmarks.com.au is updated regularly and provides current data for each of the goals, together with notes to assist interpretation. To find out what the State Government has done to contribute to achieving the goals, download the 2007-08 Tasmania Together Government Activity Report (PDF, 1.15MB). For the previous year's activity, download the 2006-07 Tasmania Together Government Activity Report (PDF, 778KB).

Government’s focus in 2009 - Priority Benchmarks

In addition to the significant work already undertaken by the Tasmanian Government to contribute towards existing Tasmania Together goals, in 2008 Government identified a suite of Priority Benchmarks.  The Priority Benchmarks are part of the Government’s response to Tasmania Together 2006. They provide a fresh, focused approach to guide Government’s commitment and contribution across all Tasmania Together 2020 goals, alongside contributions from Tasmania’s industry sectors and community.

Priorities include taking action on climate change, lifting literacy and numeracy standards, improving the health of Tasmanians and social inclusion – areas identified during the Tasmania Together consultation process as critical to a healthy future for Tasmania.

Contributing to the new benchmarks is a high priority within departments

The Tasmania Together Inter Departmental Committee (TTIDC) is the high level Government committee which coordinates a whole-of-government approach to Tasmania Together. The TTIDC helps to implement Tasmania Together 2020’s vision by working collaboratively to ensure the goals are reflected in Agency planning, budgeting and decision-making.
