 The Tasmanian Government has assumed a caretaker role ahead of the election for the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It is important during this time that Tasmanian Government resources are not used to communicate political material. As such, no political or election material will be placed on this site.

Events Tasmania Attraction Fund

The Events Tasmania Attraction Fund provides support to events that return substantial economic benefits for our state. The program is a competitive process with applications considered by the Major Events Group – a body made up of industry experts – against set criteria. The program aims to help deliver a regionally balanced event portfolio for Tasmania, spread across the calendar year.

We are interested in hearing from any organisation that sees Tasmania as a prime location for their participatory event.

    Preference will be given to:

    • Events that bring substantial benefits to regional Tasmania;
    • Events that take place outside the peak tourism season;
    • Organisations and events that have a strong track record in other parts of Australia; and
    • Events that can effectively promote pre-and post-event travel in Tasmania.

    What isn't supported?

    Events Tasmania’s funding programs don’t support conferences, conventions, symposiums, touring productions, trade fairs, fundraising events, expos and events that are primarily a showcase for stallholders to demonstrate, promote or sell services or products.

    If an event already receives funding from Events Tasmania they are not eligible for funding from the Events Tasmania Attraction Fund for the same event.
