Guy Barnett,Minister for Veterans’ Affairs
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is committed to supporting the State’s more than 10,500 veterans and ex service personnel, and their families.
Today, I am pleased to announce that Launceston Legacy and Hobart Legacy will receive $20,000 each per year from our Government to support the families of veterans and ex service personnel.
Launceston Legacy formerly received funding through the Anzac Day Trust, which was wound up by the Parliament at the end of 2020.
The new funding model, currently being implemented by our Government, will increase funding to Launceston and Hobart legacies by approximately $15,000 per annum.
