Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme

The scheme provides financial assistance to Tasmanian businesses and individuals to offset the costs of shipping eligible goods by sea.

The scheme aims to provide Tasmanian industries with equal competitive opportunities since they cannot transport goods interstate by road or rail.
