We work with South Western Sydney and Western Sydney Local Health Districts, in the Greater Western Sydney Health Partnership to promote and advocate for better health outcomes for the region of more than 2.3 million people – almost 30% of the NSW population.

The partnership is designed to improve access and delivery of health care for our diverse communities, support healthier neighbourhoods, and tackle local health and community issues. Through the partnership, we have worked together to start a training program for clinical trial coordinators, improved access to Hospital in The Home, and started an Aboriginal Health Academy to provide ongoing pathways for Aboriginal people working in health.
