About
TasICT is the peak industry body for Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) industries in Tasmania.
We are a member-based organisation with a focus on supporting our members, and leading advocacy and policy development in Tasmania.
As a non-profit organisation with more than 220 members across the State, we work for our members by engaging with the industry, consumers and government as well as national and international partners.
We support our members by hosting more than a dozen business development and networking events for industry annually, managing a number of programs that educate those interested in a career in our industry and supporting people to transition to a new career in ICT. The annual TasICT Conference is a highlight for those looking to transition into the ICT industry and businesses seeking growth through a greater use of technology.
We play a pivotal role in assisting government to shape future ICT policy and provide a voice for our growing member base to government, media, consumers, and other peak bodies.
Our goal is to support the state’s ICT industry evolve around long-term strategic initiatives to encourage investment which transitions to skills, jobs and further investment across all sectors.
As well as a representative of digital and ICT organisations in Tasmania, our member base is growing to represent all facets of ICT. Find out more about becoming a member.
