Dingoes do not live in Tasmania, so there has been no impact.
If dingoes were to become established in Tasmania, they would have both good and bad effects. The worst would be that they could be in direct competition with the Tasmanian devils for food. Tasmanian devil numbers are already low, due to the Devil Facial Tumour Disease, and it is quite possible that the introduction of the dingo could have even more of an effect.
One good thing that could come out of dingoes being in Tasmania is that they could help keep down the fox numbers. Foxes have only recently been introduced into Tasmania, but the presence of the Tasmanian devil has helped to keep their numbers in check. Dingoes would have a similar effect. Like the Tasmanian devil, they do not usually kill indiscriminately, like foxes do, but only kill for food, and they would have even less of an impact on native wildlife than domestic cats and dogs do.

What sort of competition was between the dingoes and the Tasmanian tiger?
In Tasmania, there was never competition between dingoes and the Thylacine (also known as the Tasmanian Tiger) because dingoes never made it to Tasmania. From the time of the earliest European settlement, the Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, was only known on the Australian island of Tasmania. However, fossil evidence and Aboriginal paintings indicate the Thylacine was once widespread throughout the Australian continent and the island of New Guinea. Both the Thylacine and the dingo were at the top of the food chain. The Thylacine is believed to have become extinct on the Australian mainland sometime after the Aborigines instroduced the dingo, because the dingo was larger and proved to be too strong a competitor for food.
Can a Tasmanian devil eat a dingo?
No. Although both carnivorous mammals, this is where the similarity between Tasmanian devils and dingoes stops. Tasmanian devils are marsupials, with a pouch in which they rear their young. Dingoes are relative "newcomers" to Australia, and placental mammals.
