Key peak and industry bodies have released a shared statement of aspirations
A collection of peak and industry bodies representing the local community sector has agreed on key priorities for a vibrant, resilient, healthy and safe Tasmania.
Key principles include the development of evidence based policies and common measurment of outcomes; economic prosperity; and collaborative solutions to challenges in education, health, housing, ageing and social inclusion.
Agreed priorities are:
- A framework to enable community knowledge to lead to community driven solutions.
- Foundational work with communities to build their capacity to have a voice.
- Establish an effective performance monitoring framework and publicly accountably reporting on the outcomes from State investments in community wellbeing.
- Focus on health and wellbeing with investments in preventative health, health in all policies, healthy places and spaces, and access to healthy food.
- Creation of liveable communities that support all Tasmanians and increase the capacity of older people to age in place.
- Valuing and respecting citizens of all ages as active participants in the social, economic and civic fabric of our community according to their needs, desires and capacity.
- Investments that will serve the State well in increasing productivity and securing the wellbeing of all communities.
- Investments in education and creation of career opportunities in a contemporary labour market.
- Promotion of our ageing population as an economic and social opportunity
