Tasmania regulation
This order reorganises Tasmanian state agencies: it merges the Tasmanian Health Service into the Department of Health and Human Services, creates a new Department of Communities Tasmania and moves several child, housing, disability and community functions (and some divisions) into it, then renames the Department of Health and Human Services as the Department of Health (ss 3–6). The changes affect public agencies, staff, budgets and service‑delivery arrangements and impose implementation and compliance costs on the agencies and employees required to move or be reallocated.
