Agency Overview - Functions

<< POLICY STATEMENT REGARDING DISABILITY

The DHHS relies on the dedication and skill of its workforce to deliver high quality care for all Tasmanians. The DHHS staff work in a wide range of occupations and locations and are involved in direct health and human service delivery or support of those services.

A commitment to the DFA and its implementation is an important deliverable to the DHHS. Given the nature of our business the action plan lies at the very core of our purpose. It is the role of the whole agency to deliver on the plan. This is recognised by the broad representation on the DHHS Disability Reference Group. The framework and reporting requirements are fully supported by the Agency Executive Committee members and staff across all our units.

For a comprehensive agency overview refer to the DHHS Annual Report 2007-08 available at the following link: www.dhhs.tas.gov.au.
