Submitting a Social Policy


Making a submission is easy. Having something constructive to say is also easy. So how come the ALP mess up similar things?

Welcome to Smarter, Stronger, Healthier, Safer.
The NSW Liberals & Nationals believe individuals and communities sit at the heart of our government and our society.

We will adopt a whole-of-government approach to the delivery of social policy, based on a clear set of principles and supported by goals.

Our approach will be supported by an unquestionable commitment to integrity, leadership and compassion. These values will define a Liberals & Nationals Government.

Our six social policy principles are:
The importance of early intervention and prevention.
The value of local decision making and community partnerships.
The rights of individuals to make informed choices and the expectation they will accept responsibility.
The belief that NSW should offer the highest quality and standard of services in Australia.
A promise to deliver timely and equitable services for all.
A commitment to openness, transparency and accountability.
Our principles will be supported by clear goals which are detailed in the body of this paper. They will shape our policies, the results and ultimately the outcomes for the community.


We have grouped our goals into four areas:

Smarter
Education, Skills and Youth Affairs.
Stronger
Ageing, Arts, Citizenship, Community Services, Disability Services, Housing Strategy, Indigenous Affairs, Women and Volunteering.
Healthier
Health, Healthy Lifestyles, Medical Research and Cancer, and Mental Health.
Safer
Attorney General, Emergency Services, Justice, Juvenile Justice and Police.
