On Wednesday 21 April 2010, Premier David Bartlett unveiled the new Tasmanian Cabinet which including Lin Thorp as the Minister for Education and Skills.
We welcome her appointment and the ACPET EO and ACPET Tasmanian Committee are seeking a meeting with Minister as soon as possible. ACPET will be advocating that this Government continue down the path of the previous government and expand user choice to ensure that all Tasmanians are able to undertake training with their preferred provider.
