Drupal developers in Sydney
We're Australia's most experienced Drupal team, founded in Sydney in 2009 and still calling it home. We help government, education and enterprise organisations design and build secure digital platforms that hold up over the long term.
From NSW Government agencies to universities and national not-for-profits, we partner with organisations that need platforms built right the first time. Our approach starts with listening. We take the time to understand your goals before recommending a technical direction.
Our Drupal developers in Sydney combine certified open source expertise with modern, decoupled architecture. The result is platforms that perform under real-world traffic and integration demands.
Whether you're replacing a legacy CMS, consolidating multiple sites onto GovCMS, or looking for a long-term Drupal partner, we bring the depth of experience to help you move forward with confidence.
Building platforms that scale
Drupal underpins some of the most complex government and enterprise platforms in the country, and NSW has been part of that story from the start.
In 2009, we built one of Australia's first major government Drupal portals for NSW.gov.au.
We've since delivered GovCMS platforms for agencies across the state, including ongoing work supporting Service NSW, and consolidated national platforms like Cancer Australia's GovCMS site.
Our Sydney-based team applies that GovCMS depth to every project, pairing strong engineering with careful attention to accessibility and compliance.
What we do
As Sydney’s most experienced Drupal agency, our team supports the full lifecycle of modern digital platforms:
- Custom Drupal website design and development
- Platform migrations, upgrades and hosting
- React, headless and decoupled architectures
- GovCMS builds and integrations
- Ongoing support, optimisation and strategic consultancy
Why organisations work with us
We’ve been working with Drupal since 2009, contributing to the open source project and playing an active role in its global community. Open source principles shape how our Sydney team thinks, builds and collaborates.
Our Sydney developers are fully committed to open source code contribution and community initiatives. In fact, we invest 5% of our total revenue into the Drupal open source project. So, when you work with us, you’re working with people who actively help improve Drupal itself.

Who we work with
We partner with organisations delivering essential services across Sydney, New South Wales and nationally, including:
Transition to Drupal 8
Service NSW
In late 2012 Service NSW was established to provide a unified approach to customer service by the New South Wales government. This included new branding, building dedicated customer service centres and call centres, and the development of a digital services portal.
Australian Digital Health Agency
A consolidated digital presence for the ADHA using GovCMS PaaS
The Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) plays a vital role in the immediate and future health of all Australians.
In 2020, we helped them consolidate their ageing websites into a single GovCMS PaaS platform, empowering them to talk directly with Australians amid the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
A New Drupal 8 Platform Consolidates Multiple Government Websites
Transport for NSW
Transport for NSW is responsible for planning, strategy, policy and procurement across all modes of transport in NSW including roads, rail, ferries and light rail. In late 2016 PreviousNext was engaged as the department's Drupal build partner to develop a new Drupal 8 platform that consolidates myriad websites across the organisation.
