Tasmanian COVID-19 Disability Service Providers Preparedness and Response Plan

The Department of Communities Tasmania has developed the Tasmanian COVID-19 Disability Service Providers Preparedness and Response Plan (the Plan), which is available on the Disability and Community Services webpage.

The Plan aims to support you to prepare for, and manage the impacts of COVID-19 on the people you support, your workforce and your business. It contains guidance, as well as links to key information sources and further materials.

It will be updated regularly, so it is best to access it online, as printed copies may become outdated.

The NDIS Commission and the Department of Communities Tasmania are continuing to work closely on support and scenario planning, and will keep you informed as this work progresses.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) information webpage on the NDIS Commission website contains links to updates, training, alerts and other resources.
