Premier’s Economic and Social Recovery Advisory Council (PESRAC)

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on communities and economies across the world. The scale of the economic and social impacts have, and continue to be, considerable.

The Tasmanian Government is currently developing strategies to minimise these impacts on our social fabric and the economy and to ensure the Tasmanian community is well placed to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

One of the measures the Government has implemented is the establishment of the Premier’s Economic and Social Recovery Advisory Council to provide advice to the Premier on strategies and initiatives to support the short to medium, and the longer term recovery from COVID-19.

Guided by its Terms of Reference, the Council work will focus on making recommendations on measures that can be implemented by Government, the community and the private sector to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 and recover from it.

The Council is comprised of individuals from across the Tasmanian business and community sectors and will leverage the experience, knowledge and resourcefulness of these community leaders.
