They also say the election result in New South Wales will have little bearing on voting intentions in Tasmania.
However, political scientist Professor Richard Herr said the success of micro parties, such as the Shooters Fishers and Farmers, would encourage independents and minor party candidates in Tasmania.
"The micro parties were on trial and this has helped give them credibility as they build on discontent with the established parties, particularly the Nationals," he said.
"For Tasmanian candidates in the Senate it might give them a bit more sense of purpose."
Professor Herr said Saturday's NSW election result was not a decisive win for the Liberal government but had buoyed Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
"For Mr Morrison is showed the rot on his side has slowed and he believes he can win," he said.
"It seems that Labor's Michael Daley blew it in the last week and that gaffes do count."
Tasmanian Liberal Party director Sam McQuestin was tight-lipped as speculation grew that May 11 would be the election date.
"Only one person knows when the election day will be and he hasn't shared that," Mr McQuestin said.
"We're ready when it is called and have a very strong team of candidates - more than 60 per cent are females.
"We have the first female candidate endorsed in Lyons, Jessica Whelan, and she is working very hard."
Mr McQuestin said the NSW election result was "good for morale".
"We've got an election that will be fought germane to that election, it will be tough but we're up to it," he said.
Labor Party state secretary Stuart Benson said it had been clear for some time that the federal election would be held in May.
"The Labor Party has been ready for many months to fight an election," Mr Benson said.
"All our Federal members, Senators and candidates have been working hard representing their constituents, announcing funding for important projects and fighting against the cuts and neglect of the Morrison Liberal government.
"We are looking forward to the election campaign as Tasmania has been missing off the map under this Liberal government for far too long."
Australian Greens state convenor Scott Jordan says the party also is well prepared for the federal poll.
"We're as ready as we can be and we're contemplating a May election," Mr Jordan said.
"The Greens' vote held in NSW despite some issues there and that demonstrates that people are concerned about issues like climate change."
The Nationals did not respond to inquiries.
