An alleged terror plot in Sydney has been uncovered by NSW police and the Australian Federal Police.

Three men have been arrested in the NSW Joint Counter-Terrorism (JCTT) investigation targeting a group of people alleged to support the Islamic State terrorist group.

The men - aged 20, 23, and 30 - are expected to be charged with criminal offences on Tuesday.

The NSW JCTT conducted the raids in Sydney's west on Tuesday overseen by the AFP, a spokesperson said.

Police have executed a total of six search warrants in the city's western suburbs.

"There is no immediate threat to the safety of community as a result of this activity," an AFP spokesperson said.

"Further details about this will be provided when appropriate."

Six raids were conducted at Canada Bay, Chester Hill, Greenacre, Green Valley, Ingleburn and Toongabbie.

It's understood the operation targeted the men because of what they were posting and discussing online.

Police will address a press conference with more information at 2pm EST.
