Towards a customer-centric government
The NSW Government is on a mission to become the world’s most customer-centric government by 2030. That means putting the people and businesses of NSW at the heart of everything we do.
The NSW Customer Strategy, 'Towards a customer-centric government' outlines the importance and benefits of customer-centricity. It explains the things we will do to become the world's most customer-centric government.
The strategy is underpinned by a customer framework and Customer Commitments - both have been co-designed with customers and employees and embed best practice principles.
