Most of the ramps are in the Nambucca Valley area, with others in Kempsey and Bellingen, and the Nambucca River is the waterway where Transport for NSW records the highest count. Launch fees are recorded as free at most ramps, and many have access at every state of the water. State government records and OpenStreetMap supply the ramps, so the picture is uneven from one ramp to the next, and for anything with no entry, treat it as unknown.
