Schools will be given the option to opt in for support from workers in the North and South of the state when school reconvenes next month.

National program director Sally Richardson said the organisation was thrilled Launceston organisation Working It Out had been awarded the sub-contract for the program.

Workers in the North and South will be employed on a .4 and .6 basis respectively.

"We're hopeful that will increase over time, but this will really kick things off," Ms Richardson said.

She said people employed for the program would be given specialist training then visit schools which had indicated interest.

"[Workers] will talk about how things are going in the school and work together as a group about how things are and what resources are needed," Ms Richardson said.

"There are quite negative statistics [for LGBTI youth] across all states and territories - I wouldn't say Tasmania has worse issues than other states, but there are great variants in schools, and some schools in Tasmania that need some improvements."

Tasmania's Education Department and service providers have been involved in discussions surrounding the program and Safe Schools will be offered for free, Ms Richardson said.

Safe Schools is already offered in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory with more than 200 schools involved.

Working It Out chief executive Susan Ditter said the organisation looked forward to increasing its work with schools.

She said she expected the response from the community to be one of relief.

"It means that we can do more work in schools - we were limited in our capacity, but this opened up opportunities to work with anyone in the school who would like to know about same-sex attracted and gender variant people, and staff for that matter," she said.

"We're very excited - this is an opportunity to provide this service for free."
