2025 has been a year marked by change and uncertainty — a snap state election, a federal election, two state budgets and two Treasurers later, here we are.

The TasCOSS offices, located at Level 3/86 Murray Street, Hobart, 7000 will close to the public for the holidays at 3pm, Wednesday 24 December 2025 and reopen on 9am, Monday 12 January 2026.

On Thursday 6 November 2025, Treasurer, the Hon Eric Abetz MP, handed down the interim Budget. Read TasCOSS’s and the Tasmanian Coalition of Community Service Peaks’ interim Budget responses.

This interim Budget was at its core simply a vehicle for the Government to bide time — a repeat of what we saw in May — but this time with a thinly veiled warning of the need to find savings and efficiencies.

Tasmanians and our economy continue to miss out on the social and economic benefits of using digital technologies effectively, because they can’t access, can’t afford or don’t have the necessary skills to navigate the online world.

The 2025 TasCOSS Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at 2pm, Thursday 30 October 2025. Read more about agenda items of note, including the President and Treasurer’s report and the 2024/25 Annual Report.
