We continue to deliver a range of measures to ease pressure on household budgets. To date we've offered electricity credits, the WA Student Assistance Payment, free public transport, capped regional airfares, the WA Rent Relief program, increased KidSport vouchers and much more.
Western Australia is the economic powerhouse of the nation. Since coming to office, the WA Labor Government has overseen the creation of more than 300,000 jobs. We’re setting our state up for the future – with better hospitals, cheaper electricity, more housing, and an affordable world-class public transport system in METRONET.
Western Australia has the highest level of health funding per person of any state in the nation, with an unprecedented $14.3 billion in new funding since 2021. We've added more than 800 new beds to the system, grown our health workforce by more than 30% and we are rolling out nurse and midwife to patient ratios.
Since the election of the WA Labor Government in 2017, our experienced and united team continues to deliver for the people of Western Australia. We got straight to work fixing the significant damage done by the previous Liberal-National Government. We repaired the State’s finances and got State debt under control, secured WA’s fair share of the GST, and always put WA first.
