TasCOSS's story

TasCOSS (Tasmanian Council of Social Services Inc) has been a member of the 26Ten Network since 2015.

“TasCOSS is a huge supporter of the crucial work of 26Ten.

We know from conversations with communities across Tasmania that low levels of literacy and numeracy prevent a great deal of Tasmanians from engaging more fully in life, whether that’s in education, in work, and getting the health care they need.

We support 26Ten’s aim of ensuring that all adults have the reading, writing and communication skills they need to live a life that’s of value to them.”

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
