At Hills Accountants in Hobart, we like to keep you up-to-date with the latest useful information. Today, we would like to talk about some business opportunities being offered by the Tasmanian Government.
This winter isn’t just about dodging frost and making the most of EOFY prep. It’s also packed with some genuinely useful opportunities across farming, tourism, and early childhood education. Whether you’re looking to build resilience, connect with your industry, or expand your services, here’s what’s happening — and why it might matter to you.
🌾 1. Farm Business Resilience Program (Open until Sept 2025)
If you run a non-corporate farm business in Tasmania and you’re registered for GST, this one’s worth a closer look.
The Farm Business Resilience Program is all about future-proofing your operation. It offers heavily subsidised training, personalised one-on-one coaching, and access to smart, practical tools. Think risk management, strategic planning, and responding to change — but in a way that fits your schedule and priorities.
There’s also a strong peer-support element, so you’re not going it alone. And did we mention it’s open right through to September 2025?
Want to know if you’re eligible? We can help you with that.
🧭 2. 2025 Tasmanian Tourism Conference (1–2 July, Launceston)
This year’s theme is “Resilience and Reinvention: Tourism in a Changing World” — and it couldn’t be more relevant.
Set for 1–2 July in Launceston, the 2025 Tasmanian Tourism Conference brings together operators, innovators, and industry leaders for two full days of workshops, case studies, and panel discussions. Hot topics include:
- Climate and sustainability trends
- Branding in a competitive world
- Emerging technologies in tourism
- Workforce challenges and solutions
It’s a great chance to gain market insights, upskill, and connect with others shaping Tasmania’s visitor economy. Tickets are available now via the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania.
🏫 3. Opportunity to Establish Early Learning Services on School Sites
(EOI closes 5:00 PM, Friday 20 June 2025)
If you’re in the early childhood education and care (ECEC) space, there’s a rare opening right now.
The Department for Education, Children and Young People is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to establish new early learning services directly on Tasmanian Government school sites.
This EOI is gathering feedback on:
Viable and attractive locations
Legal and financial terms for land use
It’s a golden opportunity for ECEC providers to expand in a meaningful way. And yes — Hills Accounting is happy to assist with your EOI submission if needed.
💡 Final Thoughts: A Season of Growth (Not Just Rain)
From future-ready farms to reimagined tourism and fresh ECEC opportunities, Tasmania’s winter calendar isn’t short on action.
If you’re interested in taking advantage of any of these, we’re here to help — especially when it comes to eligibility, business structure, and making your case with the ATO or government departments.
