The RDA NSW & ACT Network’s submission to the NSW Parliament’s Inquiry into Government Service Delivery Standards in Regional NSW highlights persistent disparities in access to essential services between metropolitan and regional communities. Drawing on evidence from across regional NSW, the submission identifies significant challenges in healthcare, transport, housing, homelessness, workforce shortages and aged care, alongside gaps in government performance measurement and accountability. It calls for greater transparency, consistent service standards and stronger regional accountability to ensure fair and equitable access to essential services.
