Department of Communities, WA

Overview

The Department of Communities is Western Australia’s major human services department that brings together vital services and functions that support individual, family and community wellbeing.

Working closely with our partners across government and the community services sector, our areas of responsibility include disability services, child protection and family support, housing, community services, prevention of family and domestic violence, seniors, ageing, veterans, volunteering and women’s interests. We also lead the State’s social recovery, following challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We support many Western Australians, with a focus on some of the most vulnerable people in our state. The job we do is rewarding but can be challenging.

People, place and home is at the core of everything we do and why we do it.

We promote a diverse workforce and embrace a high standard of equal opportunity, health and safety, and ethical practice.
