The NSW Writers' Centre was established as an incorporated association in May 1991 to promote writing-based culture and the rights and interests of writers.

About 30% of the Centre's income is derived from grants provided by the Australia Council, the NSW Ministry for the Arts and other sources. The balance comes from membership fees, income from workshops, seminars and other literary functions, from the sale of publications and from the hire of the building.

It is managed by the Executive Director Irina Dunn and staff who are responsible to a Management Committee elected every two years by the members of the Centre. There are more than 3,000 members.

The Centre offers literary resources and professional information to established and aspiring writers of all kinds. It provides a gracious venue for events such as book launches, readings, literary evenings and lectures as well as meeting spaces for writers' groups and literary organisations.

The Centre presents opportunities for professional development by holding seminars, courses and workshops in all genres and aspects of writing. It has a growing library of resource material for members to peruse, including an extensive collection of Australian literary magazines.
