GWSAN works across disciplines, sectors, and lived realities. We believe lasting change happens when community knowledge, academic insight, and policy influence are brought together with purpose and respect.

We collaborate with:

• Community members and lived experience advocates, particularly young people, women, and culturally diverse residents who have firsthand knowledge of the barriers Western Sydney faces
  
  

• Local councils and government agencies committed to planning reform, housing justice, and community wellbeing
  
  

• Researchers and academic institutions working at the intersection of urban policy, health equity, and systems thinking
  
  

• Community housing providers, health organisations, and frontline services who understand how policy failures show up in everyday lives
  
  

• Urban planners, valuers, and infrastructure professionals who are ready to embed prevention and equity into how cities grow
  
  

• Advocacy organisations and networks aligned with our values of justice, collaboration, and regional empowerment
  
  

Our approach is not to duplicate what others are doing, but to connect, amplify, and align. We look for partners who are ready to move beyond talk and help rewire the systems that shape housing, health, and opportunity in Greater Western Sydney.
