We’re setting Western Australia up for the future
We're delivering better hospitals, cheaper electricity, more housing, and an affordable world-class public transport system in METRONET.
Western Australia is the best place to live and work in Australia, and we’re doing the work now to deliver the jobs of the future and ensure WA remains the economic powerhouse of the nation.
A strong and diverse economy
Under WA Labor, Western Australia is in safe hands.
We regained our triple-A credit rating, which was lost under the Liberals and we stood up to Canberra to get our fair share of GST back.
We're also diversifying the WA economy by investing in industries like advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, tourism, international education, defence industries and more - ensuring WA continues to prosper for decades to come.
Training for the jobs of the future
We've created more than 330,000 jobs since being elected in 2017, despite COVID-19 causing one of the biggest global economic shocks since the Great Depression.
We're ensuring more Western Australians have the skills they need by cutting the cost of education and made 130 TAFE courses free across a range of key industries, so more West Aussies can access world-class training.
Accelerating social and affordable housing supply
We've invested $3.2 billion in housing and homelessness since 2021-22, which has already delivered more than 2,100 social homes and more than 1,000 under contract or construction.
We have also legislated major planning reform to cut red tape and boost housing supply.
