Case Study: Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People achieves 70% improvement in work order efficiency and secures record education infrastructure funding with Brightly Software

Tasmanian DECYP boosts work order efficiency by 70% with fit-for-purpose asset management solution

The Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP) manages more than 599 schools and facilities—34,950 rooms across a $4.42 billion asset portfolio—and was struggling with ageing buildings, a makeshift finance-based work order system, and a lack of objective, data-driven insight to prioritise upgrades and secure critical government funding.

Partnering with Brightly, DECYP built a fit-for-purpose asset register, applied lifecycle scenario modelling and a four-year Strategic Asset Management Plan, and deployed Brightly’s maintenance module. The outcome: work order efficiency improved by 70%, stronger, evidence-based investment cases that secured record-level education infrastructure funding (15 of 17 top-priority sites funded), improved decision-making credibility, and reduced risk and insurance costs.
