Strategic Plan
At TALS, our work is guided by our vision and purpose: achieving justice, dignity, fairness, and respect for Tasmania’s First Peoples. Our strategic plan drives how we empower communities, deliver quality legal services, and build a strong, future-focused organisation.
Our vision
Achieving true justice, dignity, fairness and respect for all Tasmania's First Peoples.
Our challenge
We have set a strong, courageous challenge to drive our work over the next ten years: To halve Aboriginal Tasmanians’ rate of negative contact with the justice system in a decade.
We acknowledge up front that meeting this target requires strong collaboration and commitment across multiple organisations and our community, and we make no apologies for setting an ambitious long-term challenge.
This challenge will underpin our dialogue and outward facing communication about what really drives our organisation, including with potential new partners and funding organisations.
Our purpose
TALS empowers Aboriginal Tasmanians by providing culturally appropriate, quality legal services, and leading advocacy for justice reform.

Establish a strongly governed, future focussed Aboriginal community organisation
Empower Aboriginal communities – become the leading advocate for our people
Deliver an innovative, professional, high quality legal service
Realise the potential of our workforce and embed our organisational values into the workplace culture
