As of July 2026, SydWest Multicultural Services and Riverlink Disability Services have officially unified under one name and organisation: SydWest. The integration brings together four decades of multicultural community services and disability support, enhancing SydWest's ability to meet diverse community needs across a wider geographic footprint.
CEO Elfa Moraitakis said, "As we grow together, our priority remains listening to our communities and building services around our community's needs. Coming together with Riverlink helps us deepen our connection and support across Nepean, Western Sydney, and the Inner West regions. More than just widening our reach, this organisational unification amplifies our community's voices."
Western Sydney and the Inner West are among Australia's most culturally diverse and rapidly growing regions. By combining SydWest Multicultural Services' experience in multicultural community support with Riverlink Disability Services' specialised disability and respite expertise, the organisation is better placed to deliver culturally responsive services across its expanded footprint. This is particularly important for families navigating complex systems such as the NDIS and aged care, where cultural and linguistic barriers can make accessing support challenging.
Through this combined expertise and geographic presence, SydWest is positioned to respond to evolving community needs with a broader range of support services, including disability support, aged care, settlement pathways, youth and family services.
SydWest continues to listen to local communities, adapt to their needs, and work alongside partners to foster inclusive, self-determined communities.
