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.

Social Enterprise Workshop

What a fantastic opportunity to gather to talk about social enterprise in Tasmania. Hosted by DEDTA, this two day workshop provided a vehicle for organisations and social enterprises to share their knowledge and experience to help develop a plan for social enterprise in Tasmania.
After much discussion and debate there were 5 key areas identified which aligned with the recommendations from the Tasmanian Social Enterprise Study.
Individuals and organisations identified the areas they were able to contribute to and a commitment was made to work in teams to develop plans.
For more information about the workshop please contact Rose Tegg at the Dept of Economic Development.
