Event description

The Western Australian Council of Social Service (WACOSS) invites you to play a crucial role in our State Budget Submission Community Consultations. Each year, WACOSS delivers a comprehensive submission to the WA Government, recommending priorities for public investment to improve the lives of individuals and communities. The submission identifies emerging issues, underscores the critical needs of frontline community services, and the essential investment needed to build thriving communities.

Your input is invaluable. We need your sector expertise, insights and priorities to shape a submission that truly impacts people doing it the toughest. This is your chance to influence our budget submission and our recommendations, ensuring that the needs of the community and the community services sector are at the forefront of government budgeting.

As we approach the 2025 WA State Election, the voice of the community services sector has never been more crucial. During our consultation we will share our work developing our vision and campaign for a fairer Western Australia.

If you're based in the south-metro region of Boorloo (Perth) please register for this session.

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.
