about the Minister

the Hon Linda Burney MP

Welcome to the Community Services website.

I’m Linda Burney and I’m pleased to be the Minister responsible for this important portfolio.

I will do my best to support vulnerable children and families and the dedicated foster and kinship carers, staff and service providers who support and work with them.

This website contains valuable information and resources – whether you are a parent or carer, someone concerned about a family or an individual, a worker in the community sector or one of the committed staff who work across the state for Community Services.

I hope you find the publications, resources and information on this site useful and easy to find.

To be really effective the communication must be two-way. I welcome the opportunity to hear from you and you can email me at office@burney.minister.nsw.gov.au with any comments or feedback.
