📢 Announcement 📢 Innovating Together: Leaving No One Behind will take place at Optus Stadium, Boorloo (Perth), 12 - 14 May 2025. Covering key themes of emergent technologies and the future of the sector; innovating in service design and delivery; and wellbeing for all.
In the lead up to the 2025 State Election we have a platform for reform to ensure people hit the hardest by the cost of living are supported to thrive. Western Australia is a great state. Let's make it a fair one too. Read our blueprint - wacoss.org.au/make-wa-fair #MakeWAFair
But there are solutions. We can tackle the big challenges. It won’t be easy. Our leaders will need to be bold, brave and show ambition.
Last night we launched our State Election campaign, Make WA Fair. We stand on the precipice of the next State Election and the challenge we face are more acute than ever. After three years of high costs and low wage growth, many Western Australians are missing out.
Melanie Hopkinson from @fcawa_ spoke to Nadia on @abcperth Mornings about the impact the rising cost of living has had on people and the dire choices they make between buying nutritious food and keeping a roof over their head. #wapol #CostofLiving
In a recent report, 51 per cent of the people surveyed had cut back their spending on food, and nearly 40 per cent of Western Australians wouldn't be able to cover an unexpected $500 bill without borrowing money, selling assets, or using a credit card. #wapol #CostofLiving
After three years of high costs and low wage growth, the cost-of-living is biting families. #wapol #CostofLiving
