About this Site

This site is the primary publication medium for documents developed by the Inter Agency Policy and Projects Unit, Department of Premier and Cabinet.

The primary audience for the material published on the site is Tasmanian Government agencies.

The secondary audience may include Local Government, politicians, contractors to government, educational institutions and community organisations.

The majority of the material available through this website is presented in PDF format to enable users to print the material.    To view and print PDF files you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader

Where documents are very large in their original source, small sections as well as a complete version of the document are provided, linked from a master page.

Other specific material has been developed for viewing through the web browser to enable users to learn about a topic or subject area.  This material is available through 'Quick Links' throughout the site.

In many instances these documents have been developed through collaborative processes, with input from Tasmanian Government agencies representatives and/or endorsement by the Inter Agency Steering Committee.

We will continue to enhance the site in response to feedback from users.
