Greater Western Sydney is the third largest economy in Australia, home to almost 150,000 businesses. Here at Western, we’re committed to our region, and we share a commitment to supporting our students, communities, businesses and government.
That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with our partners to deliver benefits that make a difference for our students, staff, Western Sydney businesses and community. Western are proud partners of the Western Sydney Wanderers Football Club, GWS GIANTS Football Club, CommBank Stadium, Western Sydney and South West Sydney Academies of Sport, and Sydney Zoo.
Western and the GIANTS have been in partnership since the club’s inception in 2012. Throughout our ongoing partnership, GIANTS and Western have collaborated across numerous research projects and several Western students have undertaken placements, PHDs and internships with the GIANTS. Partnering with the GIANTS AFL and AFLW teams, students also get behind- the- scenes access to GIANTS headquarters, development sessions with player and coaching staff and the ability to participate in on-campus clinics with players. Western and the GIANTS also proudly deliver a joint in-school program within Western Sydney which is focused on expanding the impact of our partnership into the community.
