State Service (Restructuring) Order 2010

State Service (Restructuring) Order 2010 (Tasmania)

This is a Tasmanian government administrative order that reorganises parts of the Tasmanian State Service — essentially, it shuffles government departments, functions, or employees around as part of a restructure of the public service.

Who does this affect?

• Tasmanian public servants (state government employees) whose roles, departments, or reporting lines may have changed
• Government agencies or departments that were reorganised, merged, split, or renamed
• Potentially, members of the public who deal with affected government agencies

What does it do in practice? Under Tasmania's State Service Act 2000, the Governor can make orders to restructure the State Service — moving staff between agencies, abolishing or creating units, or transferring functions from one department to another. This Order implements one such restructure that took effect from 21 July 2010.

Why does it matter? For affected public servants, this type of order determines who their employer is, which award or agreement covers them, and who their manager is. Getting this wrong has real consequences for employment entitlements. For the public, it affects which department or agency handles a particular service.
