Tasmanian Carer Action Plan 2021-2024
The Tasmanian Carer Policy 2016 recognised the commitment of unpaid Tasmanian carers and supports them in their caring role, and their active participation in economic, social and community life for themselves and the people for whom they care.
The Tasmanian Carer Policy 2016 has been replaced by Supporting Tasmanian Carers: Tasmanian Carer Action Plan 2021-2024.
Two key elements of the Carer Policy have been retained and have informed the development of Supporting Tasmanian Carers, the Policy Principles and the Policy Scope. There will be a further opportunity to review the Policy Principles and Scope as part of the development of carer recognition legislation (Action 1.1)
Tasmanian Government Concessions
The Tasmanian Government offers a wide range of concessions and discounts on the cost of government services to people on low and fixed incomes, including assistance to afford basic services like electricity, healthcare, housing, education and transport.
