Case Study: NSW Department of Communities and Justice improves child safety with Objective Reach

An innovative platform helping to protect vulnerable children

NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) partnered with Objective Corporation to address the challenge of sharing child protection information across Australian borders. Different state and territory systems created barriers to visibility, making it difficult for workers to find, match, and share vital information that could affect child safety and case outcomes.

Using Objective Reach, Objective Corporation enabled secure, policy-compliant information sharing across jurisdictions with intelligent search and matching, even when data was partial or inaccurate. The platform improved risk assessment and cross-agency coordination, with survey results showing 66% increased data sharing with other jurisdictions, 71% identifying a potential match in less than 5 minutes, and 73% usually relying on the Match Confidence Score.
