WACOSS membership is made up of a vast network of individuals and organisations who are committed to our vision to create an inclusive, just and equitable society for all Western Australians.

WACOSS’s policy submissions and advocacy work are aimed at influencing policy decision makers at both a State and Federal level to provide a voice for vulnerable Western Australians.

WACOSS events provide a unique opportunity to network with sector leaders and take part in important sector discussions that will shape the future outcomes for those we represent.

Pre Budget Submission – watch this space

June 19, 2017

It is that time of year again for WACOSS – we are consulting with community sector providers to continue building our understanding of the current key priorities and challenges for service funding, program design and policy in preparation for the 2018/19 Pre Budget Submission.

Because this Submission is outside of the usual budget cycle, with a later State budget, we want this PBS to be a wider scan of the community service sector.

We have begun place based face-to-face consultations in the east, north and south metro, as well as the Peel region, and which some of you will be attending. The aim will be to gather feedback that pertains to service areas as well as place.

WACOSS will also establish an online survey in July, and convene an open workshop in August for stakeholders who would prefer to contribute to the PBS in person. It is possible that WACOSS will co-host thematic consultations with some of the other peak bodies too.

We will give you more details about all of these opportunities to participate in the PBS consultation process as they are confirmed.
