State Protocol Office

The Protocol team provides advice and services to DPAC, across the Tasmanian Government and the broader Tasmanian community, including:

• Diplomatic and Official passports
• Congratulatory letters (ages, anniversaries)
• Flag requests, advice and library
• Order of precedence

The Protocol team is responsible for State Funerals, the Tasmanian Government Long Service Recognition Program, and Official Diplomatic and Consular visits, as well as those by Royalty and/or Heads of State and other visiting dignitaries. We also administer the State’s representation on the Council for the Order of Australia and the Australian Bravery Decorations Council.

We are also tasked with maintaining the official gifts register for Ministers in accordance with the Receipt and Giving of Gifts Policy and a whole-of-government international travel register in accordance with our Overseas Travel Policy and Guidelines.
