The $350,000 fund, administered by TasCOSS on behalf of the State Government, provided financial assistance to community service organisations in Tasmania who were required to change service delivery models in response to COVID-19.
The fund was established to enable organisations to access and purchase technology to continue to deliver vital support services to Tasmanians in vulnerable circumstances through new service delivery methods online, by phone and working from home.
In total, 62 community service organisations around the state were awarded funding.
