Event description

The WA State Budget will be handed down on Thursday, 19 June 2025, and WACOSS will once again be holding a Budget Briefing on what the implications are for the community and sector.

The WACOSS team will be working late into the evening to develop fact sheets and detailed analysis on how the State Budget will impact those on low incomes, those furthest from the levers of power; the people we all represent and advocate for.

WACOSS Policy Development and Research Lead, Chris Twomey, and Manager Social Policy and Projects, Sophie Hantz, will present this analysis on Friday, 20 June, from 1:30 PM via Zoom.

Joining them will be special guests from WA State Treasury, including Mike Andrews A/Deputy Under Treasurer and Lisa Bednarczyk Assistant Under Treasurer, Strategic Policy & Evaluation who will provide a summary presentation of the State Budget in areas relevant to the community service sector, after which they will be invited to participate in a conversation with the community services sector on the issues that matter to you.

This is a free event for members but is open to anyone to join.

For non-members who wish to attend, there will be a cost of $40 per person. Become a WACOSS member for as little as $15 per year and get access to critical sector events and news.

The Western Australian Council of Social Service has a vision for an inclusive, just and equitable society. Our purpose is to drive social change with communities, through collective action and policy formulation, strengthening community services and influencing decision makers to ensure justice and equity. As the peak body for the Western Australian community service sector, we believe that communities flourish where people are given the opportunity to contribute and create. We are committed to enabling and leading change that supports healthy, active and inclusive communities. To create equitable and empowered communities, WACOSS must be a strong Peak body voice that works with its members to advocate with and on behalf of those who are the furthest from levers of power and influence, to amplify their concerns, their voices, and seek justice, to create a society that genuinely works for the benefit of all. To change the systems, behaviours and attitudes that perpetuates entrenched poverty, inequity and exclusion WACOSS challenges and develops alternative solutions to systematic structures, community priorities and galvanises community support. We also partner with the national Council of Social Service network, as one of nine peak councils of the community services sector across Australia to ensure that there is a Western Australian perspective on the national stage. WACOSS is bold in its ambition, challenging belief structures and cultural norms, and building community empathy. It is time for us as a community to come together and create a fair and just society. We invite all Western Australians to join with us and our 300 members to drive change and overcome entrenched poverty, inequity and exclusion.
