In the evening at Government House, the Governor and Professor Chalmers hosted a reception for Print Radio Tasmania.

The Governor serves as Patron of many wonderful community organisations who undertake important work to improve the lives of their fellow Tasmanians, including Print Radio Tasmania.

She was delighted to host a reception at Government House to celebrate the organisation and present awards to some of its outstanding volunteers who present and produce radio programs for Tasmanians with barriers to print.

Guests also enjoyed a special performance from the Hobart Harmony Chorus, who were part of Print Radio Tasmania’s recent Women’s Voices Project.

The Governor commended Print Radio Tasmania on its commitment to inclusion, accessibility and community spirit, describing the station as a model of what inclusive media can and should be.

She also thanked staff, volunteers and supporters for their work in ensuring news, literature and information is available to all Tasmanians, regardless of ability or circumstance.
