The re-elected Hodgman Government’s legislative agenda will be outlined then, as well as its plan for the first year in office.
The final make-up of the House of Assembly will not be known for another week.
The Tasmanian Electoral Commission expects the writs to be returned on March 20.
During the election campaign the Premier released his 100-day plan in the event of his re-election.
“Our plan will continue to grow the economy, and create more jobs,” Mr Hodgman said.
“It’s a plan to invest more into education, health and essential services, which we are only able to do because the Liberal majority government has worked hard to get the budget back in balance.”
Mr Hodgman said once the writs were returned the new Cabinet would be sworn in and its first meeting held.
State agencies would be given the Liberals’ targets outlined during the election.
Work will then begin on drafting a range of new legislation including tax relief initiatives, capping electricity prices, restructuring the Tasmanian Health Service, law and order initiatives, further strengthening family violence laws, and the TasWater takeover.
The TasWater legislation has previously been rejected by the powerful Legislative Council.
In his speech at the tally room on election night Mr Hodgman said he looked forward to working with the Legislative Council on his reform agenda.
Other key legislation includes bringing the Tasmanian Health Service under the direction of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and strengthening local hospital decision-making.
A Health Recruitment, Retention and Workforce Planning Unit will be established to develop a 20-year plan, to support the roll-out of more than 300 hospital and community beds, and other services, across Tasmania.
In education, work will start on developing a new Workforce Strategy aimed at recruiting 250 additional teachers.
