DCJ collects a lot of data about our communities in NSW. This data helps us understand the needs of people in NSW so we can make informed decisions. Communities have a right to access and use their data.

· Use the Crime Mapping Tool to see data about your area
· Find data about crime by Local Government Area
Our NSW Data Connector Service works with Aboriginal people and organisations to share government held data. At DCJ, we have staff who can help you access data or answer data related questions.
You can ask for any data, and we’ll do our best to help you find and access that data. If you’re unsure about what data you need, we can work together to understand your priorities and find the data you need. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, we’ll work with you on how we can improve our service.
We have data about:
For data about children and families, contact NgaramanalaDataConnector@dcj.nsw.gov.au
For data about the justice system, contact bcsr@dcj.nsw.gov.au
For other data, and Data Connectors from other departments, visit the Data Connector Page.
The Data Connector Service can be used by any Aboriginal person, community, group or organisation wanting to access data held by NSW government agencies.
You may want to use the data for understanding an issue or need within your community, service delivery planning or improvement, developing business cases, monitoring and evaluation, or advocacy and accountability purposes. Data Connectors will talk to you about how you plan to use the data and discuss any limitations for how the data can be used or shared.
Reach out to the Data Connectors for a yarn to learn more about the service. We can support you to identify your data needs, understand what data and information is available to access, and provide advice and information on how to make a data request.
DCJ is committed to improving Aboriginal people’s access to data and information about their communities. This is one of our priorities under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, particularly in support of Priority Reform 4: Shared Access to Data and Information at a Regional Level.
We are working to uphold the principles of Indigenous Data Sovereignty by supporting Aboriginal peoples to exercise ownership and control over the collection, analysis, use, and sharing of Aboriginal data. Our goal is to make sure that data is not only accessible, but also meaningful and empowering, enabling communities to make informed decisions and drive their own priorities.
