With polling day this Saturday, I’d firstly like to acknowledge the powerful advocacy from right across the community services industry in calling for better outcomes for the many, diverse organisations and service types which make up our industry, and the thousands of Tasmanians who rely on our services.

All the altruism in the world cannot defy the basic laws of commerce, writes Adrienne Picone.

Delays to reforms risk doing more damage, write Adrienne Picone and Patrick Burton.

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.

Governments could instigate changes, writes Adrienne Picone.
