NCOSS Report: Each year, NCOSS visits different rural and regional locations across NSW to identify critical social policy and human services issues. In 2008, NCOSS visited the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, the Mid North Coast, the Greater West and also held consultations in Macarthur, South Sydney and Wagga Wagga. This report analysed notes from the consultations and attempts to link the issues raised with Australian Bureau of Statistics demographic data and the Social and Community Plans for each Local Government Area.
