State of Design Education in Tasmania 2026

As of early 2026 there is no longer any Graphic Design training available locally here in Lutruwita/Tasmania. Let’s talk about the knock-on issues that this training shortfall will create for our broader industry.

We’re really concerned about the state of Graphic Design education in Tasmania.

This minute video explains the situation and provides some context to the problem. We’re forming a Industry-led working group If you’re keen to help (in any way you can), please pop in your details in the form below.

*Full disclosure - Onetonne Creative Director Nat Jeanneret has long held a personal interest in Design Education in Tasmania. Off the side of the desk he’s been working on and off on a online training solution which was always intended to fill the gaps that traditional University and Vocational Education Training left. The idea Nat’s been working on was always intended to be a complement and augment formal design training. To directly address any concern about a potential conflict of interest, Nat’s more than willing to step aside, or simply support someone else to fix this issue if someone else is already driving towards a great solution!

Please join our Industry-led design education working group.
