The Tasmanian Forestry sector faces current skills and labour challenges. Responding to these challenges is important to position the Tasmanian Forestry sector as an important, sustainable industry that makes a valued contribution to Tasmania’s ongoing economic and social prosperity. The overarching objective for this work was to inform the Tasmania Forest Hub (the Hub) and industry on strategic activity to address labour and skills shortages, particularly related to high priority roles.
