The NSW Government is committed to enhancing the public availability, dissemination and exchange of information. To that end, the Community Services website has been established to enable you to quickly and easily access information on the Internet in relation to topics of relevance to New South Wales and its residents.
The Community Services site features hypertext links to other Internet sites which contain information collated and presented by government agencies, third-party organisations and individuals.
The providers of the linked sites often have their own protocols and standards in relation to their sites and the information which appears at them. We urge you to familiarise yourself with these protocols and standards since Community Services can not warrant and does not represent that the linked sites are complete, current, reliable and/or free from error.
Community Services also can not accept responsibility or liability for any loss, damage, cost or expense you might incur as a result of the use of or reliance upon the materials which appear at the DoCS website or the linked sites.
The Community Services site is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, the ultimate and complete source of information on any particular topic. It is not intended to provide professional advice in relation to a specific situation.
Bearing in mind the importance of freedom of expression to our democratic society, Community Services does not necessarily endorse or support the views, opinions, standards or information expressed at the linked sites. Similarly, you should not interpret the absence of a link from the Community Services site to any particular third-party site as a criticism or comment by Community Services on the provider or content of that site.
