Police are calling for anyone with information about a 14-year-old girl last seen in Launceston three days ago to come forward.

Shyanne-Lee Tatnell was last spotted in an area near Henry Street around 8:30pm on Sunday.

Sergeant Hamish Woodgate said she was on her way to visit a friend, but she never arrived.

"Since that time, she's been uncontactable by family and friends, which is highly out of character for her."

Shyanne-Lee is 160 centimetres tall, with blonde hair and a slim build.

She was last seen wearing a cream hooded jumper with black writing on the front and shoulder.

Sergeant Woodgate said her family held "serious concerns for Shyanne's welfare".

"She is only 14 years old and obviously, because she's been uncontactable for so long, it is a source of great concern for them."

Shyanne-Lee is from Burnie, but had been staying in youth accommodation in Launceston for the last two weeks.

Staff where she was staying alerted police to her disappearance.

Sergeant Woodgate said he would appreciate any information, especially dash-cam vision from vehicles in the area at the time.

"Any information as far as anyone who's seen her in a particular location at a particular time, whether or not she was seen in the company of anyone else," he said.

"Any information along those lines would be of great assistance."
