Kids' Stats online
For the first time in Australia, information about the safety, welfare
and well-being of kids in NSW can be accessed from one online location.
Kids' Stats monitors seven key areas of kids' lives, including
family relationships, school and work, health, levels of economic
security, community participation and experiences of child care and
safety and crime.
More information is available at the Kids' Stats section of the Commission's home page.
Kids in Gyms
With the assistance of a grant from the NSW Department of Sport and
Recreation, CHISM and Fitness NSW have developed a set of "Guidelines

Fitness/Leisure Centres in NSW". These guidelines are available below
or from Fitness NSW or the
NSW Department of Tourism, Sport and Recreation.
