Media & Advocacy

The fortnightly TasCOSS enews gives you access to more than 3,500 engaged readers working in and supporting the Tasmanian community services industry. This is Tasmania’s largest and fastest growing industry and our readers comprise workers, executives, influencers and decision-makers across the state and beyond.

In TasCOSS’s conversations with Tasmanians around the state during September and October 2022, people shared their personal experiences of going without life’s daily essentials, such as housing, food, energy, digital, and transport.

At some point in our lives, each and every Tasmanian will have contact with or be supported by the community services industry. However, over the last two decades in particular, community services funding has fallen behind the real cost to community service organisations of doing their vital work — this places people at risk of not having their essential needs met.
