Customer Commitments

We are committed to putting customers at the heart of our services. The Customer Commitments are our promise to our customers on what they can expect from us.

""

We want everyone who lives, works, visits or invests in NSW to have the best possible experience every time they interact with any of our services. We're committed to putting customers at the centre of everything we do to improve outcomes and deliver services that are easy, fair, accessible, transparent and empathetic.

Everyone remembers good experiences, but it is often the bad ones that leave lasting impressions in our memories.

Our 6 Customer Commitments give a clear picture of what to expect when interacting with our services. We have used extensive customer research to develop these commitments to ensure our customers have a first-class experience, every time.
