Our Impact

NCOSS policy and advocacy, in partnership with our members, key stakeholders, and the broader community services sector, continues to have a real impact on important issues for our communities and the sector.

Together we can influence change.

Whether it’s through:

  • Mapping Economic Disadvantage in NSW
  • NCOSS Cost of Living in NSW: Barely Hanging On
  • An exploration of the experiences of virtual care in NSW
• Advocating for a better deal for the social and community services sector:
  • NCOSS made a submission about the Portable Long Service Leave Scheme for the community services sector in NSW.
  • Beyond roads and bridges: Critical social infrastructure for South West Sydney
• Supporting the sector and promoting its value:
  • The Social Sector in NSW: Capitalising on the potential for growth
  • Supporting Economic Recovery in NSW: Investment in Social and Affordable Housing is Critical to Supporting Jobs Today and Families into the Future
  • Report on NSW Disability Advocacy Organisations
• Collaborating with peaks and other sector colleagues to achieve increased investment in essential services: Community Sector Disaster Capability Project
• Advising Government on sector and community concerns, with a view to influencing decisions and collaborating on solutions: NCOSS Welcomes New Harm Minimisation Measures for Pokies
• Providing a one-stop online hub of information, resources and advice for our members responding in times of crisis: Flood & Storm Resource

We aim to deliver practical results that make a tangible difference with and for our members and those individuals, families and communities in NSW experiencing disadvantage.
