  • priority industries for Tasmania
  • priority occupations for Tasmania
  • regional socio-economic data (i.e. education and occupation ranking, economic resources, employment, potential workforce)


The decision framework, tender documentation and contracts has been made available from 27 February through the PPP website: www.skills.tas.gov.au/productivity/tenders
