Three NSW inmates have been charged for allegedly conspiring with a teenage boy and another man over an alleged terror plot targeting government buildings.

The men, aged 21, 22 and 22 were arrested in counter-terrorism raids as part of Operation Appleby in December 2014 and 2015.

They were each charged with one count of conspiracy to conduct an act in preparation for a terrorist act on Thursday, NSW Police say.

The charges come after a 15-year-old boy and 20-year-old man were arrested and charged in Sydney's west on Thursday for allegedly planning to carry out a terrorist attack on government buildings, including the Sydney Australian Federal Police headquarters.

One of the 22-year-old inmates was scheduled to appear before Sydney Central Local Court on Thursday afternoon.
