NSW IR has an access and equity strategy that provides a framework to ensure our programs meet the needs of all our customers. The strategy encompasses:

  • people with a disability
  • culturally and linguistically diverse communities
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
    women
  • young people.

The website provides information sections specifically tailored to some of NSW IR's special audiences – Indigenous and young people and those from culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Where a page in English in the main body of the website, has an equivalent section for these special audiences, a direct link is available from the top right of the content section of the page.
