Arriving at the service centre

A Service NSW team member will help answer your questions and find the best way for you to complete your task.

If it is busy, you might need to wait to speak to a team member.

Choosing your way

You can choose to complete your task using a self-service computer or you can get a ticket so another team member can help you complete your task at a counter.

Getting a ticket

A team member will help you choose the right ticket and tell you if you need to do anything else.

If you need more help when you visit, talk to a team member.

Your ticket

Each ticket has a number, it tells you when it is your turn.

If it is busy, you may need to wait for your turn to talk to a team member at a counter.

Waiting to be served

You can sit down, relax and wait your turn. 

If it is busy, it might be noisy and some people may need to stand.

If you need to sit, but there is not a seat for you, please talk to a team member for help.

Your turn

There are screens that tell you when it is your turn. 

Look for your ticket number and which counter number you need to go to.

If you miss your turn or need help, ask a team member.
