The Westsider is run on the power of volunteers. Your contribution directly contributes to ensuring we can continue serving and celebrating our community.

The Westsider is created on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.

The Westsider is bound by the Standards of Practice of the Australian Press Council. If you believe the Standards may have been breached, you may approach The Westsider or make a complaint to the Australian Press Council in writing at www.presscouncil.org.au.
