Our History

Community First Step was founded in 1973. A group of local residents formed what was then known as the Fairfield Community Council for Social Development – a forum for community development and action on social issues. 

In 2007, our name changed to Community First Step, enabling us to broaden our reach and offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our community.

Today, Community First Step is a growing organisation that encompasses Children, Youth and Family Services, Community Development, Settlement Services and Disability Services. Community First Step staff and volunteers support and empower the communities in Greater Western Sydney.
