The NSW Government is investing $14 million to strengthen support for people with a cognitive impairment who come into contact with the justice system.
The Government is extending funding for the Justice Advocacy Service (JAS) which helps people understand their rights and responsibilities when interacting with police, legal representatives and the courts.
The service is run by the Intellectual Disability Rights Service (IDRS) and has been extended for another two years until 30 June 2027.
It is available across the state, including in regional and remote areas, and has supported more than 9,000 people since 2019.
JAS also provides a voluntary diversion service helping eligible defendants to provide evidence of their impairment, apply for a diversion order, and access the NDIS and other support services.
This diversion service is available across six local courts – Downing Centre, Parramatta, Blacktown, Penrith, Gosford and Lismore – and has helped more than 900 clients since 2022.
Attorney General Michael Daley said:
“This funding extension ensures the Justice Advocacy Service can continue providing support to people with a cognitive impairment when they interact with police, legal representatives and the courts.
“This is important to ensure equitable access to justice and fairness for vulnerable community members.”
Minister for Disability Inclusion Kate Washington said:
“Legal processes can be complex for anyone – but for people with a cognitive impairment, navigating the courts without adequate support can result in unjust outcomes with life shattering consequences.
“Thanks to the Justice Advocacy Service, people with cognitive impairment can access the support and advice they need as witnesses, victims or defendants.
“By extending this funding, we’re backing a service that makes sure people’s needs are understood which helps to ensure everyone in our courts gets a fair hearing.”
Intellectual Disability Rights Service Chief Executive Officer Joanne Yates said:
“The Justice Advocacy Service supports more than 2,500 people with a cognitive impairment in their criminal proceedings each year.
“JAS advocates contribute to the effective operations of the courts. Our work is critical in supporting vulnerable people with intellectual disability. This includes keeping them out of prison and diverting them into support services as appropriate.
“We welcome the extension of our vital funding for these next two years and thank the Attorney General and the Minister for their ongoing support”.
A former Justice Advocacy Service client said:
“JAS saved me when I was at my lowest point in life and through their work has given me so many opportunities. I’m working and I can’t thank them enough for what they’ve done for me.
“It changes lives in so many ways, support is unreal, they spend extra time with court matters.
“It will keep a lot of people out of prison, having the diversion in courts is really beneficial for people with intellectual disability as it is keeping them out of somewhere that will make them even more vulnerable than they already are.”
The NSW Government has today released the report from the Special Commission of Inquiry into Healthcare Funding.
This delivers on an election commitment from the Minns Labor Government to have an inquiry into healthcare spending.
The commission, led by Hon. Justice Richard Beasly, found the NSW Health system to be a high performing one with the treatment and care it provides to be among the best in the world.
As with any large and complex organisation, there is always room for improvement.
The inquiry received 226 written submissions as well as heard testimony from 225 witnesses over 70 days of hearings, including patients, providers and policy experts.
The inquiry also visited every local health district and specialty health network across metropolitan as well as regional NSW, including meeting management, clinicians, health consumers, and healthcare providers such as General Practitioners, Non-Government Organisations, and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations and Aboriginal Medical Services.
From this, the report has produced 41 recommendations across 12 priority areas including:
the need for allied and preventative healthcare
challenges around primary and aged care
the health workforce
statewide health service planning
procurement processes
innovation.
The Government will now carefully consider these findings and respond in due course.
Minister for Health Ryan Park:
“I want to say from the outset that the NSW health system is one of the highest performing in the world, supported by the most talented and dedicated clinicians and workers.
“It doesn’t mean that we don’t have our challenges, and it doesn’t mean we can’t find more ways to improve.
“This is why we delivered on our election commitment to establish a Special Commission of Inquiry into healthcare spending.
“I am so grateful to the commission and the many people from every level of our health system who generously shared their insights with the inquiry.
“It is now time to give the findings and recommendations of this report the consideration it deserves.”
Health Services Union Secretary Gerard Hayes:
“We have an opportunity to fundamentally shift our health system’s focus by embracing this report.
“We know the future of healthcare is in allied and preventative care, which will keep people out of hospital and help them recover faster.
“The HSU is ready to work with the state government to implement the reforms recommended in the report, which will improve the health of the people of NSW.
“Shifting our attention from costly emergency and surgical intervention to allied and preventative care will save money and improve peoples’ health, which is not only good for individuals but the wider community.”
The Minns Labor Government is continuing to prioritise safety and accessibility for school students, with a $10 million boost in walking and cycling infrastructure near schools.
Some 24 locations will receive improvements including new and upgraded shared paths, footpaths and raised pedestrian crossings that make it safer for children and parents to walk to school.
The funding announced today coincides with NSW Walk Safely to School Day. It is part of the Minns Labor Government’s commitment to building better communities through essential infrastructure.
Data shows less than one in four NSW school children currently walk or ride to and from school, while over 70 per cent of parents and carers indicated they would like to walk to school with their children most days. Children are only spending 18 minutes per day walking or riding a bike, less than a third of the daily recommendation.
National Walk Safely to School Day is a Pedestrian Council of Australia initiative that falls within National Road Safety Week, an annual initiative of Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group to encourage safer behaviour on our roads.
This builds on funding programs to deliver safety around schools, including through measures such as school zones, flashing lights and the NSW Road Safety Education Program.
Examples of projects funded by the program include:
$979,489 towards the removal of the Children’s Crossing and the installation of a raised pedestrian crossing with a pedestrian refuge island and speed cushion on Greenbridge Drive in Wilton.
$807,180 towards the North Lismore Connections project, delivering safe pathways linking residents to the CBD, sporting fields, showgrounds, and the proposed high school, enhancing active transport, connectivity, and safety.
$795,421.55 towards the construction of a 3m wide shared path on Tennant Street Bellbird from Balangara Way to Sparke St, and a 1.8m wide walking path on Doyle Street, including a pedestrian refuge at the Sparke Street and Doyle Street intersection.
$758,911 towards improving pedestrian crossing safety at the Conadilly-Henry Street intersection in Gunnedah, reducing conflicts between pedestrians and 26-meter B-double vehicles near a school, church, and businesses.
$615,000 towards the construction of a 3.0m wide shared path along Military Road in Port Kembla and a 1.5m wide footpath along Olympic Boulevard, connecting the Foreshore, Town Centre, and Train Station to community facilities and public transport.

Minister for Roads and Regional Transport Jenny Aitchison said:
“On this Walk Safely to School Day, I’m delighted to share details of the $10 million worth of active transport projects that have been funded by the NSW Government.
“Tragically, two child pedestrians died and 36 were seriously injured in active school zones in the five-year period from 2019 to 2023.
“Improving safety is our number one priority. We want parents and carers to feel confident to walk, ride and scoot their kids to school – it’s critically important to their mental and physical health.
“Children are only spending 18 minutes per day – less than one third of the recommended daily time – walking or riding a bike. I encourage parents to leave the car at home and take the time to walk or cycle with their kids, always hold their hand when walking on the footpath and cross at pedestrian crossings.”
Minister for Transport John Graham said:
“There are so many benefits for children walking or riding safely to school. It builds independence and self-confidence, improves health and can establish being active as a lifelong pattern.
“The reduction in traffic congestion on the road network when we have fewer parents in fewer cars doing fewer trips to school is another positive result of kids getting to school on foot or by bike or scooter.
“Upgraded and wider footpaths, quality crossings and more trees are among the small changes that can make a big difference to getting kids active on the way to school.”
Pedestrian Council of Australia CEO Harold Scruby said:
“As our motto says – active kids are healthy kids, and the best form of physical activity for all Australians is walking regularly. Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. We also encourage parents and carers to take their children on a walk to school each day to teach them life-long road safety habits.
“Being active every day, including walking to school, provides social, emotional, physical and mental health benefits, including improving self-esteem and confidence and helping concentration. And the best way to do this is to build walking into your daily routine.
“Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or carer – everyone has a role to play in helping children and young people to lead active healthy lives. Remember to hold your child’s hand and always stop, look, listen and think before crossing the road.”
Slowly but surely Sydney is getting back to its best, and this result is more proof.
There was a lost decade of lockouts and lockdowns where our nightlife and culture suffered, and the glory days of the Sydney Olympics seemed like long lost memories.
Since coming to government two years ago we’ve been fighting to bring Sydney back to life, which has involved cutting lots of red tape that was holding back small venues through to large cultural events.
We’ve lifted the concert cap on our stadiums and put local support acts on our biggest stages. We’ve continued backing incredible events like Vivid Sydney, SXSW Sydney, Sydney Festival, Sydney Fringe, Sydney Film Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival and the Sydney Marathon, whilst supporting our world class cultural institutions like the Sydney Opera House, Art Gallery of NSW and the Australian Museum.
We’ve also stopped serial single noise complainants from shutting down entertainment venues, extended trading hours, incentivised venues to host live music, scrapped the 5km rule at clubs, given adults the right to stand up when having a drink outside and started rolling out Special Entertainment Precincts across the state.
But it’s not mission accomplished, the hard work continues, so stay tuned as we rebuild our night-time economy block-by-block neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood.
People often talk down Sydney’s cultural life, and sometimes they’ve had reason to, but that’s changing. I think it’s time to be proud of our city and our state again.
The Minns Labor Government has released a draft of NSW’s Waste and Circular Infrastructure Plan, which is needed to prevent Greater Sydney running out of landfill. Without intervention, waste collection and disposal services could be severely impacted by 2030, forcing councils to transport rubbish to regional areas or interstate.
Failure to tackle this would drive up the cost of kerbside bin collections and lead to costs for residents and businesses increasing by around 20%.
A slowdown in rubbish collection would also impact critical infrastructure projects, such as new housing developments. It’s estimated that it could cost the economy around $23 billion.
The first chapter of the draft NSW Waste and Circular Infrastructure Plan will consult councils, industry and the community on the next steps to build the infrastructure required across Greater Sydney.
Future chapters are expected to be released later this year and will focus on enhancing recycling infrastructure and addressing the unique waste challenges facing regional and remote NSW.
The release of this chapter lays out how the NSW Government will:
safely manage the waste we don’t recycle and avoid Greater Sydney’s imminent shortfalls in landfill capacity
collect and process increased volumes of organic waste, as source-separated FOGO collections are rolled out across Greater Sydney.
The Minns Labor Government recognises that a state government cannot do this alone. A new Ministerial Advisory Committee will be established to guide the plan’s implementation and advise on local barriers, identify opportunities for investment and report on progress.
This plan follows the NSW Government’s recent mandate of Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) recycling. FOGO will reduce the volume of food waste sent to landfill, by diverting up to 950,000 tonnes of each year.
“For too long, state governments have ignored the fact that Greater Sydney is running out of landfill.
“Waste collection is an essential service.
“This draft plan is the first of its kind and is long overdue.
“We can no longer kick this problem down the road. I look forward to working with local councils, industry and local communities to urgently address the problem.”
The dedication and compassion of palliative care health staff and volunteers across NSW is being recognised this National Palliative Care Week (11 – 17 May 2025).
We thank the many staff and volunteers who provide essential care and support to patients and families during the most challenging time in their lives.
The NSW Government is committed to further enhancing palliative care services across the state and has introduced a range of measures to better support patients and their families living with a life-limiting illness.
This includes a $93 million investment in capital works as part of the World Class End of Life Care program, which will deliver new or redeveloped palliative care facilities at five health facilities across the state including Wyong, Westmead, Tamworth, Nepean and Orange hospitals.
The Government is also committed to growing our specialist palliative care workforce, and is employing extra nurses, doctors and support staff, estimated at more than 570 additional full-time equivalent positions by 2026-27.
Last month, the Minns Labor Government announced an additional $2.8 million in funding to support a range of initiatives which will enhance paediatric palliative respite and end of life care across the state. This forms part of the NSW Government’s commitment to increase paediatric palliative care funding to approximately $80 million over 4 years from 2023-24 to 2026-27.
Twelve local health districts and speciality health networks have received additional funding to strengthen specialist paediatric palliative care and improve the physical spaces where palliative and end of life care is provided.
The NSW Government has also committed $3 million in funding for the End of Life and Palliative Care Research Grant Program, aimed at improving health outcomes for patients, carers and families with end of life and palliative care needs in NSW.
Minister for Health, Ryan Park:
“I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our palliative care teams who provide compassionate, high-quality care to patients and families in exceptionally difficult circumstances.
“Our specialist palliative care workforce is comprised of doctors, allied health professionals and nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers and volunteers.
“National Palliative Care Week is not only an opportunity to increase awareness about the importance of end of life and palliative care services, but also to begin conversations with family and friends about how one might to plan for their future requirements, including their own end-of-life care.”
The NSW Government is investing $15 million in the protection of Snowy Monaro communities, with work to begin on a new state-of-the-art bush fire and emergency management centre in Cooma.
The NSW Rural Fire Service has awarded the construction contract for the new Fire Control Centre (FCC), which will be co-located with an Emergency Operations Centre and aviation facility.
The centre will enable faster coordination and enhance frontline capabilities as emergency management experts are brought together under one roof during times of disaster.
The Snowy Monaro FCC is being developed in response to the 2020 NSW Bushfire Inquiry, which identified the need for upgraded emergency management infrastructure in the region.
Zauner Construction Pty Ltd will soon begin construction, with the project to be managed by NSW Public Works.
The facility will be located on a site adjoining the existing FCC and the Cooma/Polo Flat Aerodrome.
Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib said:
“This new centre will be a vital resource for those on the frontline and provide our volunteers with the best possible infrastructure to assist in firefighting efforts.
“With purpose-built workspaces and training rooms, this facility provides our emergency service personnel with the modern technology they need to protect life and property.
“This investment enhances not just firefighting but also search and rescue capabilities, which are vital in remote and rugged parts of the region.”
Member for Monaro Steve Whan said:
“It’s great to see work finally starting on this important new facility. I am aware that it has been many years in the planning and having visited the existing centre many times, I am aware of its limitations.
“Our region has a history of large bushfires, and this centre will provide the facilities, technology and working conditions to ensure that our incredible, dedicated, emergency service volunteers and staff can provide the most effective responses possible.
“I’m very pleased to be a part of the Labor Government making the investment in this facility. It builds on a number of new control centres built in Monaro during my last period as Member for Monaro.”
Commissioner of the RFS Rob Rogers said:
“This new centre will not only support day-to-day operations, but also better equip our personnel to manage multi-agency responses to a range of hazards.
“The inclusion of a secure helicopter hangar and crew accommodation will also boost our aerial firefighting and rescue capability across the region, enabling faster deployment and more effective response during critical incidents.”
The NSW Government shares community concerns about coastal erosion to parts of the Central Coast, especially with the impacted householders.
In response to a letter received from Central Coast Council, the NSW Government has agreed to meet with Council about the issue in the coming week.
Up to this point the Government has acted on the advice of the Local Emergency Management Committee about the situation, including Central Coast Council, as is required by law.
Today (Sunday 11 May) marks the beginning of National Road Safety Week (NRSW).
Sadly, every year on Australian roads approximately 1,300 people are killed and another 44,000 are seriously injured. In 2024, 334 people were killed on the state’s roads, with almost 70 per cent of those in regional NSW and around 40 per cent related to speeding.
The overarching of theme of National Road Safety Week this year is ‘Drive so others Survive’, with road users encouraged to make a road safety pledge. So far, more than 73,000 pledges have already been taken online.
The Minns Labor Government is proud to support National Road Safety Week, an annual initiative of the Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group, which was launched by Peter Frazer OAM, following the tragic loss of his daughter Sarah at a road crash.
On 15 February 2012, Sarah, then aged 23, was driving to Wagga Wagga to begin her university degree when her car broke down on the Hume Highway near Mittagong. She pulled into the emergency breakdown lane and called for assistance before another vehicle collided into her and the tow truck driver, killing them both.
From Sunday evening the Sydney Harbour Bridge will be illuminated yellow to mark the start of National Road Safety Week. There will also be landmarks illuminated across regional NSW including the Forbes Town Hall, Wollongong Lighthouse and the Parkes War Memorial.
New South Wales is the lead jurisdiction this year and will host the launch at the Sydney Opera House on Monday night, bringing together road safety partners, experts and advocates from around Australia. The week aims to amplify the impact of road trauma by campaigning to reduce the number of crashes, so everybody makes it home safely.
To coincide with the launch of NRSW, the NSW Government has today launched a powerful new website to shine a light on those affected by crashes on the state’s road network.
‘Beyond the crash: Real life stories’ highlights the people behind the road crash statistics, reinforcing that every death on our roads isn’t just a number, it represents a real person, and a ripple effect felt by families, friends, and communities.
The site features a story wall and interactive map, allowing users to explore crash stories by location. Through these stories, the platform aims to encourage safer driving attitudes and behaviour.
People across the state are encouraged to submit their own stories, which are reviewed by the Centre for Road Safety at Transport for NSW to ensure they reflect the site’s purpose and meet community guidelines.
As National Road Safety Week reminds us of the importance of road safety, the Minns Labor Government is committed to making NSW roads safer for all road users, with $2.8 billion allocated in the budget over the next four years to deliver road safety initiatives.
These include:
Delivering more road safety infrastructure across NSW
The demerit point return trial that encourages safe driving
Releasing more ratings for bicycle helmets as part of its star rating system
Doubling the number of roadside enforcement sites used for mobile speed cameras, introducing an additional 2,700 new sites.
Using mobile phone detection cameras to catch seatbelt offences
Removing a loophole to force those driving on a foreign license to switch to a NSW licence within six months
Tightening the rules for international license holders to switch to NSW licenses
Introducing a trial of average speed cameras for light vehicles
Signing the National Road Safety Data Agreement with the Commonwealth Government
“National Road Safety Week is an important annual event to raise awareness about road safety and things we can all do to make our roads safer.
“Road crashes affect more than just the people directly involved. They ripple through families, communities, and lives in ways that are often felt long after the crash. Tragically so far this year (as of midnight 8 May) 131 people have lost their lives on NSW roads.
“I’m calling on everyone to make safe decisions on NSW roads, whether driving a car or a truck, riding a bike, or out and about as a pedestrian. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility.
“I’m proud to see our iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge illuminated in yellow to raise awareness of this important week – the Bridge is a key centrepiece in our city and I know that hundreds of thousands of people will see the yellow lights, the projection of the yellow ribbon and NSW’s road safety goal of Towards Zero on the pylons.
“The week is also about reflection, considering the devastating effects that dangerous driving can have on communities. Every death on our roads isn’t just a number – it’s someone’s mum or dad, brother or sister, child or friend.
“The NSW Government is committed to lowering trauma on our roads and we’ve already rolled out a number of road safety actions including the enforcement of seatbelt offences by mobile phone detection cameras, tightening the requirements for international licence holders to convert to NSW licences, awarding a contract for the scoping of 2700 additional mobile speed camera sites and introducing average speed camera trials for light vehicles.”
Transport for NSW Secretary, Josh Murray said:
“Transport for NSW strives every day to put road safety at the forefront and improve safety for everyone.
“The choices we make every day when we get behind the wheel are extremely important and I urge everyone this National Road Safety Week and every week to make safe decisions on the road – please buckle up, ensure your passengers are buckled up and drive so others survive – the life you save could be your own or one of your loved ones.
“The Beyond the Crash website is a place where people who have experienced road trauma can share their experiences and encourage others to have an open conversation about road safety.
“It’s also a sobering reminder how one mistake or wrong decision on the road can take a life – whether it’s your own, someone you care about, or someone else’s loved one whose world is about to be turned upside down.
“We thank everyone who has had the courage to share their loss publicly. The deaths of their loved ones in road crashes caused unimaginable grief which is felt every single day.
“Their stories are powerful and highlight the impact of road trauma. Every time you get behind the wheel you need to drive so others survive.”
President of SARAH Group, and Founder of NRSW, Peter Frazer OAM said:
“National Road Safety Week asks every Australian to reflect on how we actively look after those who are vulnerable on our roads and highways.
“We urge all drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other road users to pledge their commitment to road safety, so that we can ensure that everyone gets home safe to their loved ones, every day with no exceptions.
“I don’t want any other family, friend or professional network, or community to experience the loss we went through when we lost our darling Sarah. She never leaves our hearts or minds for a minute and this Week we are asking people to be aware of their own behaviour on the roads to make it safer for everyone.
“We have to recognise the vast majority of these crashes occur in circumstances that are completely avoidable. It’s imperative that we unite to make our roads safer, as every death or serious injury is one too many.”
“Along with safety measures undertaken by the Federal, State and Local Governments and emergency services, every one of us using the road needs to check our own behaviour and be a better driver, rider, cyclist, passenger or pedestrian every time we are on the road.”
“We can choose to stop being distracted by phones, to stop speeding, and not drive or ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
“Choose to Drive So Others Survive! Make your pledge at roadsafetyweek.com.au.”
Cutting edge scientific processes have found 28 current and historic mine sites which could have critical minerals and high-tech metals deposits hidden inside their old waste.
For mines that have closed, these results could mean new opportunities for production, bringing more jobs and investment opportunities to those communities across regional NSW.
The Geological Survey of NSW’s Mine Reuse Project collected more than 1,200 samples.
These specimens were then run through the latest sampling techniques and underwent high precision chemical analysis to identify critical minerals.
This uncovered elevated concentrations of 11 critical minerals and high-tech metals, including copper, cobalt, silver and antimony. Historic mines where sampling occurred include CSA in the Central West, Queen Bee, Great Cobar and Nymagee in the Far West, Endeavour Elura and Endeavour McKinnons in the Central West, and Hillgrove in the Northern Tablelands.
Current mines where researchers were looking for additional materials include Peak Gold Mine and Tritton near Cobar, RASP and Southern Operations near Broken Hill, and Stratford in the Upper Hunter.
The Mine Reuse Project also identified existing discoveries from the reprocessing of waste and tailings. This includes gold from historic tailings at the Mineral Hill mine in the Central West, and tin from Ardlethan mine site in the Riverina.
Results from the survey are being released this week as part of NSW Minerals Week, further highlighting NSW’s status as a global leader in exploration and mining of critical minerals.
Critical minerals and high-tech metals are crucial for clean energy technologies, such as electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, along with aerospace applications. The International Energy Agency estimates that, over the next 20 years, the global economy requires six times the current amount of critical minerals to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
NSW Minerals Week provides an opportunity for government, industry and regional communities to celebrate the contribution that mining makes to the state.
Data from Geological Survey projects are used extensively by the industry to guide explorers and miners and assist them in identifying new opportunities for critical minerals mines. Providing free, pre-competitive data helps de-risk projects and draws investment to NSW.
The release of data from projects like this helps focus explorers and miners on the best opportunities for development and could see an increase on the 190 critical minerals exploration titles already being pursued across NSW.
This latest data release is part of the Government’s continued focus on delivering the NSW Critical Minerals and High-Tech Metals Strategy 2024-35. It builds on the extensive investments made by the Government to date, including:
a $2.5 million co-investment fund for critical minerals explorers;
a $250 million royalty deferral initiative for new critical minerals projects;
the provision of world-class and targeted precompetitive geoscientific data including the recent commencement of the Central Lachlan Seismic Survey around Euabalong to Bathurst and Nyngan to Gilgandra.
The work for the Mine Reuse Project was undertaken in collaboration between the Geological Survey of NSW with the Sustainable Minerals Institute at The University of Queensland and Geoscience Australia.
“The release of this data reinforces that NSW really is the state to be for explorers looking to find the next big critical minerals project.
“As key ingredients in our solar panels, wind turbines, EVs and batteries, critical minerals and high-tech metals are integral to our economic future.
“This release of data is an important part of our critical minerals strategy. This pre-competitive data helps to minimise investment risk in exploration and identify new opportunities.
“We know how important mining is to communities across the state. More exploration means more jobs and more investment in regional NSW.
“It’s also a good reminder of the important work done by the Geological Survey of NSW as we celebrate its 150th year. The agency has made a remarkable contribution to the mining, exploration and geology sectors in NSW.”
NSW Minerals Council CEO Stephen Galilee:
“This initiative recognises the ongoing growth in global demand for many of the valuable mineral commodities we have here in NSW.
“It also highlights the need for more mine approvals in NSW so we can play our role in meeting this global demand while also delivering economic benefits to regional communities.”
Chief Geoscientist and head of the Geological Survey of NSW, Dr Phil Blevin:
“The Mine Reuse Project is a direct outcome of the government’s commitment to a Critical Mineral and High-Tech Metals Strategy that drives investment and innovation in the exploration and mining sector through the provision of world-class and targeted precompetitive geoscience.
“There is a significant multiplier effect in the provision of this data, and it helps drive exploration and innovation. The results of the Mine Reuse Project is just another example of this.”
