The Next of Kin Program helps people living alone to have the contact details of their nominated person recorded at a local police station.
The contact details of the Next of Kin, as well as the nominated doctor, dentist and any medical alerts that would help in an emergency situation will be entered onto a register.
Any information provided will be securely stored and only accessed by NSW Police.
This information may assist the ambulance and police in an emergency situation to contact a relative or other nominated person to inform them of your situation.

PACC Meeting: Are you Aboriginal and are you interested to help police and the Aboriginal community address problems within the community associated with crime, crime prevention and community safety.
If you said yes to both of these questions, why don’t you come along the next Police Aboriginal Consultative Committee meeting being held 10:30am on April 4, 2019 at the Cullunghutti Aboriginal Child and Family Centre on Holloway Road, Nowra.
The PACC meetings are a forum that permits both police and Aboriginal people to address problems in the Aboriginal community associated with crime, crime prevention and community safety.
The PACC are not to be used for complaints about police or other government agencies but is there to address the issues of reducing Aboriginal crime rates and community safety issues.
Don’t forget Dob in a Dealer is underway in the South Coast Police District, aimed at stopping Australia’s supply of illicit drugs including methylamphetamine (ice), cocaine, MDMA, heroin and cannabis.
The campaign encourages members of the public to come forward with any information that can assist us in identifying any drug networks, any people selling, supplying or manufacturing drugs in the area.
Any information, no matter how small you might think it is, could be the missing piece of the puzzle officers have been looking for.
If you have information about someone in your community who is manufacturing or supplying drugs, it’s simple - call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. All information is confidential.
As always, in case of an emergency call 000. In non-emergencies call the Policelink on 131 444 or your local police station. To provide anonymous information call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
