Contemporary Music Services Tasmania (CMST) exists to fulfil the needs of the Tasmanian Contemporary Music Industry by providing services, forums and facilities to support its development.

It promotes diversity, recognises excellence and encourages the growth of artists and industry personnel within Tasmania towards state-wide, national and international recognition.

CMST received core funding from Arts Tasmania Assistance to Organisations to establish itself in 2010. Funding support was received recently for CMST to continue its work in 2011.
