Our Commitment to Community

We are committed to our community and working together across the local government areas of Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Liverpool and extend to other areas of Western Sydney, where support is needed most.

Our community is diverse and dynamic, made up of varied cultures, languages, traditions, religious and spiritual practices. This diversity strengthens the range of identities, perspectives, experiences and lifestyles of our community, including people young and old, people with disability, the LGBTQIA+ community and those who have experienced advantages or disadvantages.

We work with community to build social cohesion and resilience by eliminating discrimination and mitigating disadvantage.

Our History

Our history of working in community can be traced back over 40 years. 

In July 2015 we dropped “Community Services” from our name and became Woodville Alliance.

We like the word ‘Alliance’ because it emphasises our priority to work in partnership with all people, from all walks of life, especially members of our local communities in Western Sydney. Only by listening to each other and working out solutions together, can we make a better future.

Our Strategy

Woodville Alliance’s Strategic Directions set a pathway for deepening our understanding and relationship with community and strengthening our capability to do more with community. In the latter part of our strategic horizons, we will innovate by co-designing services with community, taking a test-and-try approach and measuring our impact.

A key strength of our organisation is our high levels of staff engagement, diverse workforce and commitment to quality. Throughout our strategic journey, we will continue to prioritise and invest in the capability and well-being of our people (staff).

October 19-27 is Children’s Week- with the focus on the right of all children to a safe and clean environment.As Early Childcare Educators, we have the privilege of teaching our young about the importance of these rights and fostering a culture of respect and care for our shared spaces.This week, we have facilitated group discussions on environmental hygiene and personal safety, used interactive learning materials, and modeling the behaviors. Key to this has been engaging the children in age-appropriate activities, allowing them to learn practically about cleanliness and safety and encouraging them to take an active role in looking after their environment.In both the Kangaroo and Joeys rooms, they have been eager to share their ideas on how we can work together to make our environment safer and cleaner. Their suggestions have ranged from diligently cleaning up after play sessions to ensuring waste is disposed of correctly. Throughout the week, it was remarkable to observe the children taking ownership of their environment and seeing them so engaged and proactive in their care of their rooms. This demonstrates the effectiveness of our Early Years Learning Framework practices, in promoting learning, independence and problem solving. #westernsydney #earlychildhoodeducation #childrensweek2024 #welovewhatwedo ...

GambleAware Week is 21-27 October. Gambling significantly impacts our local community, diminishes quality of life, and contributes to an unjust and unfair society. Research suggests that almost half of all people who gamble are at risk of gambling harm. And gambling harm – negative consequences experienced because of participation in gambling – is more prevalent in Western Sydney than anywhere else in NSW. Woodville Alliance is an advocate for gambling reform that will reduce gambling harm.#westernsydney #welovewhatwedo #gambleaware ... See MoreSee Less
