Mental health and policing interactions in NSW
We are looking at ways to improve how the NSW Police Force responds to mental-health related interactions.
Your input will help to ensure the NSW Police Force has reasonable and adequate policies, systems, and training in place to help police officers effectively respond. The Commission cannot make comments or recommendations about whether agencies other than police should be first responders in NSW.
Share your experience using the NSW Government Have Your Say platform by 30 June 2026 and help us to understand more about mental health and policing interactions in NSW.
There are two options provided for users:
You need to be 18 years or over to complete the survey or make a submission.
The Commission acknowledges the importance of the lived experiences of children and young people, and values their voice. We welcome and encourage submissions on behalf of young persons.
Please note that the Commission is utilising the NSW Government platform 'Have Your Say' to run our survey and submission process. Visit the Mental health and policing interactions in NSW survey and submission webpage here. Do not make submissions directly to the Commission.
Analysis of complaints made by or on behalf of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - An Observations Paper
The Commission undertook this work to increase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s knowledge, access and capability to use available data and information to set priorities and drive their own development and is in line with the National Agreement on Closing the Gap Priority Reform 4.
This paper provides a snapshot of the number of complaints, allegations and outcomes of complaints Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made for a period of time.
The Commission’s Observation Paper will be the starting point for discussions with Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities about opportunities to improve the Commission’s collection, access, management and use of data about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We welcome suggestions as to how the Commission can further support the ongoing efforts of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to achieve data sovereignty.
