WSYD Moving Symposium 2026
From Momentum to Movement: Where the System Starts to Shift
WSYD Moving is a registered health promotion charity dedicated to tackling inactivity and inequity across Western Sydney. As a community-led, systems-based movement, WSYD Moving brings together cross-sector partners to co-create healthier, more connected communities.
Building upon the success of the inaugural WSYD Moving Symposiums held in 2023, 2024, and 2025, significant strides have been made. We’ve been progressing the movement generated by the actions from the last three symposiums, our white paper and the funding received to date.
