State Service (Restructuring) Order 2016

State Service (Restructuring) Order 2016 (Tasmania)

This is a Tasmanian government administrative order that reorganises parts of the Tasmanian public service (the state government's workforce and departments).

What does it do?

It formally shifts functions, staff, or responsibilities from one government agency or department to another. This is essentially the legal paperwork that makes a bureaucratic restructure official and binding.

Who does it affect?

• Tasmanian public servants whose roles, teams, or departments may have moved to a different agency
• Government agencies that gained or lost functions as a result of the restructure
• Members of the public who deal with specific government services (the agency handling their matter may have changed)

Why does it matter?

• It determines which department is legally responsible for what functions
• It affects employment conditions and reporting lines for affected public servants
• It took effect from 1 July 2016 and remains current

Important limitation

⚠️ The actual substantive content of the order (which departments were restructured and exactly what changed) is not included in the text provided. Only the metadata and status information is available, so specific details about the restructure cannot be assessed.
