The Department of Education (DoE) provides educational services to students from birth. There is no defined age limit because we believe in, and are responsible for, educational services that enable all Tasmanians to learn, regardless of their age, their background or where they live.
We provide educational services through our 12 child and family centres, ‘Launching into Learning’ programs (babies to four-year-olds and their families), kindergarten in primary schools, and the primary and secondary schools around the state—including education delivered flexibly or via blended learning. Our libraries also give Tasmanians access to a wide range of services, including community learning opportunities. Overall, we support, monitor and regulate education and care services across the state.
