ChildStory
We believe that every child deserves to be safe and have a permanent and stable home for life.
To deliver on this promise we need an information system that is responsive to the complexity of the work of child protection, that can support decision making by recording and recalling the right information at the right time and supports collaboration between the people that matter in a child’s life.
To respond to this challenge the NSW Government has commissioned the ChildStory project within the Department of Family Community Services.

In addition NAPCAN has the support of an extensive network of professionals, practitioners and concerned individuals who all donate their time and expertise to support our prevention strategies.

Health and Wellbeing: Service NSW
Service NSW’s transactions relating to health and well-being cover a wide range of subjects. From a tool that calculates kilojoule intake, to guidance on how to apply for disability support assistance, knowing what facilities and/or help are available to us when we’re ill, or wanting to improve our health, is vital.
Service NSW, through its liaison with government agencies such as the Department of Human Services and the NSW Ministry of Health, brings this variety of information into one place, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
