Local partnership supports southern Tasmania’s most vulnerable

Hobart City Mission and TasNetworks have announced a new partnership aimed at improving safety and security for Tasmanians experiencing hardship.

The partnership, valued at $150,000 over three years, will fund security upgrades across Hobart City Mission’s client-facing sites and create new opportunities for TasNetworks staff to contribute through volunteering initiatives.

“This partnership is about more than just funding,” TasNetworks chief executive officer Sean McGoldrick said.

“It’s about working together to make a meaningful impact in the lives of Tasmanians.

“Safety is at the heart of what we do at TasNetworks and we’re proud to support Hobart City Mission’s vital work in the community.

“This partnership reflects TasNetworks’ commitment to powering a bright future while aligning with Hobart City Mission’s ongoing efforts to build stronger, safer communities.”

In addition to financial support, TasNetworks will provide expertise and staff engagement opportunities through hands-on volunteering projects.

“We couldn’t do what we do without the support of community partners like TasNetworks,” Hobart City Mission CEO Harvey Lennon said.

“Its investment will make our spaces safer for the people who rely on us, giving them a secure place to turn to when they need it most.

“This partnership launch marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration focused on safety and community impact.

“By working together, TasNetworks and Hobart City Mission are committed to building a stronger, more supportive environment for Tasmanians in need.”
