How we Advocate for Change

We don't just respond to change. We help shape it. For a safer, more resilient and more connected Tasmania.

Our Focus Areas

Safer Journeys

We advocate for road safety in Tasmania, engaging government and delivering education for all ages, so every Tasmanian gets home safely.

Resilient Communities

We lead discussions to improve community resilience and collaborate with experts to help communities prepare for a changing climate.

Connected Communities

We seek to understand what connection means to Tasmanians, delivering on our promise of being a shoulder to lean on and a voice when it matters.

How We Shape Change

Evidence-based Research

Advocating Change: Our Process

  • Community Engagement

    Real advocacy starts with listening. We work directly with members, young people, local communities and industry to understand what’s working - and what isn’t. Those conversations guide the work we take forward. 

  • Strategic Partnerships

    Big challenges need shared solutions. We collaborate with government, emergency services, councils and community organisations to turn ideas into action and make change happen on the ground.

  • Policy Development and Recommendations

    We don’t just react - we shape solutions. We develop strong, evidence-led policy positions on the issues that matter most, from safer roads to disaster preparedness. Then we turn those positions into clear recommendations for change. 

  • Government Submissions

    When governments ask for feedback, we show up. We put forward clear, practical submissions that reflect what Tasmanians are experiencing - backed by research, data and real community insight. Our goal is simple: smarter decisions that lead to better outcomes.

Submissions  

These documents outline our public policy positions, and what we are calling on from the State and Federal Governments to ensure a more connected and resilient Tasmania.
