WESTIR Ltd is a not-for-profit community organisation, standing for Western Sydney Regional Information and Research Service. Since 1981, we have been committed to enhancing accessibility to social research and data for everyone in Greater Western Sydney (GWS) and beyond. We address current and potential issues by collecting, analysing, and interpreting information, making it readily available to the community. Our guiding principle is to ‘let the data run free.’ For information about our Board, staff and WESTIR’s Strategic Plan, click the link below.
WESTIR has available current data and information about Greater Western Sydney, and beyond, for you to use.
Drawing on data from the 2021 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census, this report presents an overview of mental health conditions within Greater Western Sydney.
Targeted Earlier Intervention (TEI) is the current New South Wales (NSW) Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) contractual stream governing the delivery of family and community services state-wide. The TEI stream ‘offers voluntary support to children, young people, families and communities, where the evidence suggests it will have the most impact, early in life and early in need’. At the time of writing this report, the Draft TEI Program Specifications for 2025 have been released. Contracts will conclude on the 30th of June 2025 and are currently in the process of recommissioning for 2025. The TEI priority groups included in the Draft TEI Program Specifications were Aboriginal children, young people, families and communities; 0-5 year olds; children and young people at risk of disengagement from school, family and community; young parents with known vulnerabilities or who are experiencing a number of hardships; and children and young people affected by a mental health condition/s. This paper aims to provide a summary of recent data relevant to TEI priority groups in Greater Western Sydney (GWS), GWS DCJ Districts, and GWS LGAs. Findings from this report are based on the analysis of data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2021 Census of Population and Housing (Census).
In August 2023, North West Community Services Inc. (NCWS) initiated The Wellbeing Project - My Liveable Neighbourhood, targeting communities in Blacktown and The Hills Shire LGAs, especially for those affected by the 2022 NSW flooding.

The Multicultural NSW Compass aims to provide users with the ability to view ABS Census data in an attainable format.🚨 Panellist announcement 🚨 Andrew Jakubowicz: Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Technology Sydney.
Andrew was there from the beginning. In 1974, he and other locals helped establish the Inner Sydney Regional Council for Social Development. He served as the guest speaker at the inaugural Marg Barry Memorial Lecture in 2005 and is widely regarded as one of the most respected sociologists of our time. Since the early 1970s, he has been actively engaged in action research and race relations, playing a key role in developing materialist theories of cultural diversity.
Prof. Jakubowicz will join a panel of activists and change-makers to discuss the history and future of community activism.
