The parish covers the local government area of Georges River Council (in the southeast), the western part of Bayside Council (formerly the City of Rockdale) in the northeast, and the eastern part of the City of Canterbury-Bankstown (formerly the City of Canterbury) in the north.

The name of the parish is used as the region name today, although most modern customary uses of the region name refer to the part of the parish that lies south of Wolli Creek and The M5 in Georges River Council and Bayside Council which is considered part of Southern Sydney. This excludes the northern part of the parish within the City of Canterbury-Bankstown that is considered part of South-Western Sydney.[2]

In some instances the whole cadastral Parish of St George (both north and south) is grouped together and considered the inner south-west due to its geographical location from Sydney CBD.[3]
