All Tasmanians should be treated with dignity and respect – regardless of their relationship status, sexuality, gender identity or intersex characteristics.
Four organisations will receive funding through the Tasmanian Government’s 2021 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ+) Grants Program, which helps LGBTIQ+ Tasmanians, their friends and families have equal opportunity to participate in and contribute to Tasmania’s social, economic and cultural life.
Total funding being allocated through the 2021 Grants Program is $46,850. The projects to receive funding are:
$25,000 for Working It Out Inc;
$4,810 for Hockey Tasmania;
$8,440 for Bushrangers Sporting; and
$8,600 for Clarence City Council.
Roger Jaensch,Minister for Human Services
The Department of Communities Tasmania has commenced a formal review into an incident that occurred at the Ashley Youth Detention Centre (AYDC) last night.
This is a standard practice when such incidents occur, as it is important that we understand how they occurred and what measures can be put in place to prevent them happening again.
It’s important to understand that AYDC is a therapeutic facility that aims to safely and securely accommodate young offenders with a view to rehabilitation and a positive return to life within our community.
The Tasmanian Government has commenced our $7.3 million major infrastructure redesign and upgrade of the Centre to ensure its fit for purpose as part of a state-wide, contemporary, therapeutic youth justice system.
