Design System v3.16.0

Supporting different roles

The NSW Design System can be used by any department and brand classification, to provide a consistent approach to UI and UX for designers and developers. Even if you're not using the component kits, our ecosystem allows teams to identify and use only what they require.

While the out-of-the-box branding reflects masterbrand corporate, the in-built theming framework can be adapted for all masterbrand, co-brand and even independent classification levels. Endorsed and stand-alone brand classifications can also take advantage of the pre-built base, easily adapted to their own brand identity.
