Description
Inclusive, connected and just: our vision for NSW identifies areas where the current system is not working well for disadvantaged people. It outlines concrete, achievable solutions to ensure that some of the most marginalised people in our communities do not miss out on the benefits of a strong economy. These focus on:
- creating affordable housing and reducing homelessness
- improving the health and wellbeing of people with drug-related issues through improved provision of drug treatment
- giving all children a good start in life through early learning
- improving the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children and young people by providing earlier, proactive support
- improving life chances for young people leaving out-of-home care
- addressing gaps in support for people with disability and their families
- improving the health and wellbeing of older people and reducing avoidable hospitalisations.
We also call for a serious commitment to address the entrenched disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with strategies shaped in partnership with Aboriginal communities.
