End Date:

Description:
Following a change of government the previous department was stripped of its cultural and community development roles and assumed responsibility for the Tasmanian Secondary Assessment Board (up until then under direct Ministerial control). At the same time TAFE Tasmania was more closely integrated into the Department of Education. This brought all the education and training services provided by the state under the administrative control of a single department focused almost exclusively on education and training. On October 1 2022, Children, Youth and Families from the Department of Communities and the Tasmanian Autism Diagnostic Services transitioned to the Department of Education to create the new Department for Education, Children and Young People.
