The NSW Government Community Service Award recognises individuals in NSW who have substantially helped to improve the quality of life of members of their community. This is beyond what would reasonably be expected in their usual occupation.

Nominations for this award are for community work performed mostly within the electorate of the nominating NSW State Member of Parliament. Each Member of Parliament is entitled to present two NSW Government Community Service Awards a year.
