TOP OF THE POPS FOR 2022 BABY NAMES
CHARLOTTE looks set to be the most popular girls’ name in NSW in 2022 while Oliver is the number one boys’ name for the eighth year running.
Attorney General Mark Speakman and Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello revealed the current top 10 NSW baby names for 2022, as recorded by the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
“Welcoming a baby into the family is a joyous time for parents and selecting a name is one of the most important decisions they’ll make. It’s always interesting to see which names are the most popular each year,” Mr Speakman said.
“After finishing third in 2021, Charlotte is well placed to finish top of the charts joining Oliver who has been the number one baby boys’ name in NSW since 2014,” Mr Speakman said.
“Amelia, Isla and Mia have also made the top 10 for several years running, along with Jack, Noah, and William.
“We welcome the state’s newest residents and congratulate all NSW families who brought a little bundle of joy into their home in 2022.”
Mr Dominello said that parents have the option of registering the birth of a child online or by post using a paper form.
“Registering your child’s birth establishes their legal identity in the community and is important in accessing government services such as Medicare. Parents have up to 60 days from the date of birth in which to submit a registration form,” Mr Dominello said.
“While not compulsory, the overwhelming majority of parents also order a paper birth certificate for their child at the time of birth. When the first of its kind NSW Digital Birth Certificate is launched later this year, families will also benefit from having secure access to their child’s identity documents anywhere, at any time.
“Congratulations to NSW families now enjoying parenthood, either welcoming their first child or expanding their family in 2023.”

HELP FOR TRADIES WITH MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS
TRADESPEOPLE in Western Sydney are facing a devastating epidemic of suicide, with rates among young tradesmen more than double that of other men.
CEO of TIACS (This Is A Conversation Starter), Keri Stephenson, said that those who work in trades and construction have some of the highest suicide rates in Australia amongst men.
TIACS is a free and confidential chat, text, and call-back service that provides early-intervention mental health support for Australia’s truckies, tradies, blue-collar workers, and those who care about them.
Through the support of partnerships with businesses such as TradeMutt, TIACS has supported over 12,000 clients and delivered over $2.15M worth of market services to the Australian blue-collar community free of charge.
TradeMutt, founded by Daniel Allen and Edward Ross, is a national social impact workwear brand that supports the health and well-being of tradies and other blue-collar workers across the country.
The company was founded after Daniel lost a close friend to suicide in 2015. TradeMutt creates eye-catching, colorful shirt designs that start conversations about mental health.
The company also created the concept of "Funky Shirt Friday" to give tradies a reason to wear their TradeMutt shirts to work, similar to what office workers do on casual Fridays. 50% of TradeMutt’s profits are donated directly to TIACS.
