The Tasmanian Government Office (TGO) in Canberra operates on behalf of all State agencies to identify and develop opportunities for Tasmania by:

• promoting improved awareness and understanding of the Tasmanian Government's interests and priorities in Canberra, including among Australian Government departments, Ministerial offices, industry associations, and diplomatic missions
• enhancing knowledge across State agencies of Australian Government policy and funding initiatives, particularly those impacting Tasmania
• identifying Australian Government grant programs and other funding possibilities, and notifying these opportunities to interested Tasmanians. (See the Funding Alert Service offered.)
