State Service (Restructuring) Order 2018

State Service (Restructuring) Order 2018 (Tasmania)

This is a Tasmanian government administrative order that restructures parts of the Tasmanian State Service — essentially reorganising how government departments or agencies are structured, which staff belong to which department, or how responsibilities are allocated across the public service.

Who does this affect?

• Tasmanian public servants whose department, role, or reporting structure may have changed
• Government agencies and departments in Tasmania that were reorganised
• Potentially members of the public who deal with affected agencies (e.g., if a service moved from one department to another)

What does it do? This type of order is a standard mechanism used by the Tasmanian Government to shuffle the administrative furniture — moving teams, functions, or staff between departments when the government reorganises itself (often after an election or cabinet reshuffle). It came into effect on 1 July 2018.

Why does it matter? For affected public servants, this order legally formalises changes to their employment arrangements — including which department employs them. Without seeing the full text of the order, the specific departments and functions affected cannot be detailed, but the structure is a routine administrative reorganisation instrument.
