Mental Health Carers NSW is one of 108 NSW organisations and groups who have made a joint submission with Raise the Age NSW to the NSW Government Inquiry into community safety in regional and rural communities.

We’re calling on the NSW Government to:

• Resource and support Aboriginal Community-Controlled Organisations to work with First Nations children, families, and communities.
• Invest in services that prevent crime from the start.
• Fund targeted services and interventions that help kids learn to be accountable, and do better, when they go off track.
• Be guided by evidence and Raise the Age NSW from 10 to at least 14 without exception.
  We all want communities to be safer. In our submission we say the NSW Government can do better for kids and community.
