What is a Government Access Centre?
The NSW Government has established Government Access Centres (GACs) across NSW to give people living in country towns similar access to services and information as city residents.
Generally, GAC's are one-stop shops for government services.  They provide convenient face to face customer focused government services for rural and remote communities.

In the Autumn of 1997, seven GAC's in Dorrigo, Grenfell, Kyogle, Maclean, Nambucca Heads and Oberon were opened as a pilot project for two years. They were so successful that the NSW Government decided to keep them open.  Today there are 45 GAC's across NSW with 22 GAC outreaches in smaller communities.

They Can:

• Provide information on a range of governement activities and services.
• Undertake agreed transactions on behalf of various agencies.
• Organise referrals and appointments for visiting agency staff.
• Help you to get expert advice.

If your GAC can't help you it will tell you who can.
