Tasmanian households have amassed $13.6 million of household energy debt as a $33 million allocation for energy bill relief sits in government coffers.

TasCOSS welcomes the Tasmanian Government’s $33 million commitment towards energy bill relief, but is calling for the funds to be immediately released as new figures reveal the number of Tasmanians in energy debt has doubled in the past year.

It was fantastic to have over 80 of our community services peers join us in Launceston last week for our annual lunch with the Premier, the Hon Jeremy Rockliff MP, which was made possible thanks to the ongoing support of our event partner St.LukesHealth.

Do you have a energy and passion for collaborating with the community services industry around our key challenges and opportunities? If this sounds like you and you have experience in developing people and organisations, we’d love you to join our team!

Tasmania’s community services industry has today launched a new campaign for a fair and reasonable funding increase from the Tasmanian Government.

Aurora Energy has launched its family and domestic violence policy, providing further protections and support for Tasmanians experiencing family violence.
