 The Tasmanian Government has assumed a caretaker role ahead of the election for the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It is important during this time that Tasmanian Government resources are not used to communicate political material. As such, no political or election material will be placed on this site.

Department of State Growth

About us

The Department of State Growth was established on 1 July 2014.

When creating the Department, the government bought together four interrelated divisions developing a strategic approach that drives economic growth, and supports the community, industry and business in the creation of jobs and opportunities for Tasmanians.

The department has eight ministers spanning 14 portfolios. We work across industry and services that include investment attraction, transport, infrastructure, cultural industry and tourism supply development, skills, training and workforce growth, international relations and trade, science and technology, resources, energy and emissions reductions, and region and sector development.
