The NSW Budget has failed to deliver critical investment in social infrastructure to support the state’s most vulnerable communities.

NCOSS CEO Cara Varian said: “The Budget Papers talk about ‘building communities’, but communities are about people, not just pipes and poles. The investments in essential social services focus on managing crises, rather than preventing them. As a priority, we should be investing in services that help prevent poverty, homelessness or trauma before it occurs."
