Make a difference. Your work. Their future.

This is a Department built entirely for children and young people and their communities. Our ultimate goal is to work together to ensure that every child and young person in Tasmania is known, safe, well and learning.

The child is at the centre of everything we do and the way we do it.

Are you planning your teaching journey? Your next classroom could be moments away from nature, beaches, wineries, award winning restaurants, and a coffee with your new neighbour. There are many diverse teaching and lifestyle opportunities available in urban and regional areas across Tasmania - what will your next career move be?
