How we stay accountable, transparent, and mission-aligned.
The Greater Western Sydney Advocacy Network (GWSAN) is committed to transparent, ethical, and community-led governance.
Our structure ensures that decisions are evidence-based, equity-focused, and shaped by the lived experience of people across Greater Western Sydney.
This page brings together our core governance documents, frameworks, and principles. As GWSAN grows, this page will continue to expand to include additional policies, reports, and accountability measures.
Our Governance Approach
GWSAN operates on a model of collective leadership, community participation, and transparent decision-making.
Our governance framework is designed to:
Ensure our work remains aligned with our mission and values
Embed the Fair Share Framework into all strategic decisions
Maintain high ethical and professional standards
Support volunteers with clear processes and expectations
Enable strong partnerships with universities, councils, NGOs, and community groups
