Social Enterprise in Tasmania

There are literally hundreds of social enterprises operating within Tasmania working in a range of industries. For the past 3 years there have been a group of organisations within Tasmania working together to raise the profile of social enterprise, identify the needs and seek opportunities to support the existing social enterprise.
The aim of this site is to provide access to resources that may be of interest while promoting activities and workshops that may assist those wishing to go down the road of social enterprise or those wanting to expand what they are already doing.

Invitation to Workshop

Where is the value and what is the impact ?

The Institute for Regional Development is inviting practitioners from around the state to share their insights and their organisation’s experience of running a social enterprise at a workshop and forum Social Enterprise and its Impact on Regional Development

The workshop will inform future research on social enterprise—what are the issues and what research needs to be done? It will be led by nationally-recognised leaders in social enterprise research, Assoc Prof Jo Barraket (Queensland University of Technology), Prof Katherine Gibson (University of Western Sydney), and Dr Robyn Eversole (University of Tasmania), in discussion with a panel of local social enterprise practitioners.

The 2011 Tasmanian Social Enterprise Study has provide a snapshot of the social enterprise sector in the state. It has given us a clearer picture of the range and number of organisations working in this area— their mission and reach and the types of activities they under-take.

However there is more to tell. These events will be of interest to anyone working in or seeking to know more about social enterprises in Tasmania.
