We value your opinion
Community consultations help you to provide comment on proposals for new or amended laws, and to make submissions on reviews and reports.
Consulting with the broader community helps to make our policy and legislative reform more informed, effective, and relevant to our communities.
About your submissions
When you make a submission, your submission and name will be published unless you request part or all of it to be confidential. We will not publish personal information such as your personal phone number, email or address. We will not publish certain other information under the Tasmanian Government Public Submissions policy (PDF, 601KB).
The policy outlines the Government’s commitment to ensuring that public consultation processes are open and transparent and that the departments apply a consistent approach to the publication of submissions. This commitment reflects community expectations for having access to information that informs Government decision-making on major policy matters.
