Is this event right for you?
The Making a Difference series showcases the work of public servants like you – delivering exceptional outcomes in their teams and making a difference to the people of New South Wales.
In this unprecedented time of pandemics, natural disasters, and a host of other challenges for the sector, this series has been designed to inspire and celebrate the great impact that public servants like you have on our state, no matter your level or specialisation.
What will you gain?
The case studies featured in this series have been recommended by your public sector leaders as examples of innovation and excellence in customer-centric service delivery.
This session takes a closer look at three examples of collaboration and co-design in driving positive outcomes.
From aboriginal procurement to guardianship to serving customers affected by natural disasters, this session will explore putting the customer at the centre of the way we design service delivery, and how open communication and collaboration with customers and stakeholders paves the way for more equitable outcomes.
Case studies featured:
NSW Department of Customer Service - Hardship Support Program
Sanja Galic, Executive Director, Fines & Debt, Revenue NSW will discuss the Hardship Support Program at Revenue NSW which aims to divert those most vulnerable and disadvantaged from the fines’ lifecycle. She will highlight the success of a car restraint diversion trial that has not only benefited our customer’s cost of living but has saved lives. It is this innovative and empathic approach that is the foundation of generational change in the NSW fines space and has authorities around the world paying attention.
NSW Treasury - Aboriginal Procurement
The amendments to the revised Aboriginal Procurement Policy were co-designed with the Aboriginal community, government and industry stakeholders. The policy amendments have generated greater cluster performance with government exceeding its policy targets of spend and contracts with Aboriginal businesses in the last financial year and reporting indicates strong performance against current year targets.

Typically, case studies like these are only shared internally within their cluster, if at all. This is your opportunity to hear how other areas of the sector approach the challenges in their work and how you can apply their learnings in your own service delivery.
During the session, you will also have the opportunity to ask your questions and share your perspectives with the community via the chat.
