Abstract

Western Sydney is one of Australia's most culturally diverse regions, with 40.9 per cent of Western Sydney residents being born overseas, 47.5 per cent speaking a language other than English at home, and almost 55,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Leveraging critical insights from the Western Sydney Community Forum's Anti-Racism week and empirical data, the paper evaluates current initiatives, strengths and challenges in Western Sydney and proposes a whole-of-region framework to establish a common language and set of aspirations for local anti-racism efforts.
