This disclosure provides statistical data on the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme (TFES) covering 2019-2023. The scheme distributed increasing annual assistance despite declining participant numbers: total assistance grew from $154 million in 2019 to $184 million in 2023, while individual claimants decreased from 2,196 to 1,759 over the same period. The number of claims remained relatively stable between 16,277 and 17,526 annually. The data suggests individual claim values increased substantially, with average assistance per claimant rising from approximately $70,000 in 2019 to $104,000 in 2023, indicating either higher-value claims or expanded eligibility criteria benefiting remaining participants.
