Description: Official Community Visitors visit most government and non-government accommodation services for children, young people and people with a disability throughout NSW. They also visit people living in licensed boarding houses. Priority is given to visiting residents who are at greatest risk. The role of Official Community Visitors is to promote the best interests of children and young people in out-of-home care and children, young people and adults with a disability in care. They provide advice to the Ministers and the Ombudsman about the quality of care provided to residents. Official Community Visitors inform the Ministers and the Ombudsman about the quality of services, promote rights, identify issues raised by residents, provide information and help resolve issues of concern at the local level.
