Elections and budget

Mission Australia’s pre-budget submission focuses on the need for significant progress on homelessness and affordable housing and the need for adequate funding for evidence-based programs that have a positive impact on people’s lives and support them on their journey to independence.

Ahead of the 2024 Tasmanian election, we need leaders who will take urgent action in four priority areas: housing and homelessness; the wellbeing of Tasmanian children, young people and families; youth justice; and mental health and wellbeing.

Mission Australia’s pre-budget submission to the Tasmanian government speaks to the need for investment in housing and homelessness services, strengthening communities, child safety and youth programs, combatting the harms of gambling and supporting people experiencing mental illness.
