Templated documents

For all templated Tasmanian Government documents produced for internal use, Arial must be used.

Templated documents refer to document templates prepared by each department or entity using Microsoft Office (including Word, PowerPoint and Excel).

Templates prepared by the Department of Premier and Cabinet can be used by all Tasmanian State Service employees but they are not mandatory. Templates are in the Toolbox.

In addition, each agency’s communication team can oversee the adjustment of the templates to meet their needs and approved brand identity.

Professionally designed documents

Professionally designed Tasmanian Government documents must use Arial or Noto Sans unless an exemption is provided by the Department of Premier and Cabinet and the appropriate licensing has been obtained by the relevant agency.

Professionally designed documents are documents that are developed by a design professional (staff or contractor) and may include, but are not limited to, annual reports, strategic plans, strategies and discussion papers.
