State Service Overview
What is the State Service?
The Tasmanian State Service supports the government of the day by providing robust and independent policy advice and ensuring a wide range of services are delivered to the Tasmanian Community. This is done primarily through eight Agencies and eight Authorities, who work in areas including:
- Health and community services
- Environment including parks, water and natural resources
- Education
- Infrastructure
- Justice and corrections
- Industry sector support
The Tasmanian State Service also provides support to Ministers to develop and implement policies and legislation, administer state finances, manage resources and deliver or support a wide range of public services for the Tasmanian community.
