The Tasmanian Government is building a better Tasmania: now, and for the future.

The 2025-26 Budget delivers on the things we said we would do through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.

Premier Jeremy Rockliff said the Budget keeps Tasmanians in jobs, backs our small businesses and helps Tasmanians, without increasing taxes.

“This includes significant investment in Southern Tasmania, where the Government continues to rebuild hospitals, upgrade schools, keep Tasmanians safe, and provide cost of living relief measures to those who need it most,” Premier Rockliff said.
