The Sydney South-West GP Network is located forty kilometres south west of Sydney's Central Business District and it incorporates 27 suburbs. The population of Fairfield LGA is 181,936 people (ABS Census, 2001) making it the third most populated Local Government Area in the Sydney Statistical Division after Blacktown and Sutherland LGAs. In 2001, more than half (52.5%) of Fairfield?s residents were born overseas in a non-English speaking country. In that year, Fairfield and Auburn LGAs had the highest proportion of overseas born residents of any LGA in Australia. Fairfield is the LGA with the highest number and proportion (66%) of language-other-than-English speakers. Also, the proportion of Fairfield residents born in non-English speaking countries with incomes in the lowest three income groups (i.e.: less than $200 per week in 2001) was three times higher than for Sydney (ABS Census, 2001).
