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.
