Section 6 says a defined entity is:

  • A government agency (as in the State Service Act).
  • A person or organisation acting on behalf of the Tasmanian Government if that person or organisation is administering funding or services to the disability sector.
  • A Government Business Enterprise (as in the Government Business Enterprises Act).
  • Any other person or body or class of persons or bodies prescribed as a defined entity.

Each defined entity needs to develop a disability inclusion action plan. The plan must include strategies and measures that promote disability inclusion.

The Department of Premier and Cabinet runs a Defined Entity Working Group to assist in the development of the Tasmanian Disability Inclusion Plan and the associated disability inclusion action plans.
