Stop the politics and protect all Tasmanians.
Uncontrolled spread leads to worse economic outcomes, increased hospitalisations and more deaths. We call for an accelerated booster effort, free and easy access to RATs, and mild but sensible restrictions.

TASMANIA TODAY

• Consumer spending dwindling
• Essential supply chains disrupted
• Small businesses shuttering or closing for good
• No financial safety nets for businesses
• Lack of testing facilities
• Booster shortages
• Long wait times for children's vaccinations
• Multiple aged care homes infected
• ICUs are filling up
• Hospitals on skeleton staff with ever increasing staff infections
• HCW forced to work while deemed as ‘close contacts’
• Elective surgeries being delayed
• HCW workers quitting their professions (this will have a generational impact)
• Increased risk of domestic violence
• Increased pressure on people’s mental health and their support networks
• Vulnerable, aged and at-risk more exposed than ever

Minimising damage is the key to preventing being overwhelmed. 

Please Peter, flatten the curve for Tasmania. 
Protect us all by being proactive and anticipating the next wave.

We ask you to offer and maintain:

– Free & fast access to RATs and masks for all abilities, demographics and locations;

– Continued contact tracing via the app for 100% transparency of exposure sites;

– Reinstate rigid testing at borders;

– Dedicated, purpose-built and permanent isolation facilities.

Stop the politics and protect all Tasmanians.
