Relationships Australia Tasmania invites the Tasmanian media to attend the northern launch of its 75th anniversary celebration in Launceston.
For decades, Relationships Australia Tasmania has been a key provider of services in Launceston, dedicated to creating healthy relationships, enhancing community well-being, and supporting mental health. One notable milestone was the expansion of the Marriage Guidance Council’s services to Launceston and the north-west in the mid-1980s, which laid the foundation for our continued growth in the region
In our 75th milestone year, we are embarking on an inspiring mission to engage with seventy-five communities across Tasmania, asking the question, ‘what is a connected and respectful community to Tasmanians?’
By celebrating 75 years through conversations in 75 places across the state, we aim to create a Tasmania where every individual is valued, every relationship is nurtured, and every community thrives. This initiative represents not only a celebration of our past achievements but also a commitment to future growth and connection.
Relationships Australia Tasmania CEO Dr Michael Kelly said the series of events will highlight the organisations commitment to staying connected and building respectful relationships within the community.
“Throughout our 75 years, we’ve seen firsthand the positive impact of nurturing connections between individuals and communities,” Dr Kelly said.
“This milestone offers us a unique opportunity to reflect on our past achievements while looking forward to the future. By engaging with 75 communities, we aim to deepen our relationships with community groups, understand their needs and create greater awareness about our services”.
