Switching on Innovation for Small Business in North West Tasmania

The Switch Purpose

Switch Tasmania, located in the beautiful seaside town of Ulverstone, is committed to building digital skill and confidence amongst small businesses across the northwest coast.

We work to make sure that businesses that want to grow through the various digital platforms have the personalised service and expertise to make it happen.

This also means accessing business advice and expertise that will not always be straight forward digital. Switch looks at the whole person and business.

We also know that business growth and great outcomes for the NW coast are not achieved alone and therefore create a number of opportunities to network, make valuable connections and have the conversations that lead to new ideas and opportunities. The ideas you cannot get from staying within your own four walls.
