On 7 June 2025, Premier Jeremy Rockliff announced there will be no privatisation under the Tasmanian Liberal Government.
Public Trustee Chair, Ms Therese Taylor, acknowledged this confirmation and highlighted the organisation’s ongoing commitment to the Tasmanian community. “The Public Trustee has successfully implemented a raft of reforms over the past three years. We look forward to continuing this important work and working constructively with Government, stakeholders and clients.” Ms Taylor said.
The Public Trustee plays a vital role in safeguarding the rights and interests of Tasmanians, particularly the most vulnerable members of our community. Our work in estate and financial administration, estate planning, and trustee services is guided by independence, integrity, and a strong focus on community service. We are proud to continue delivering these important services as a publicly owned organisation.
