The Western Australian Jobs Act 2017 (WA Jobs Act) allows conditional exemptions from the requirement of each prospective supplier to submit a participation plan when they are tendering for a WAIPS supply. These are to be granted by the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade
(Minister for Jobs) or the delegated authority on either a case by case basis or as a standing exemption in relation to a prescribed class or circumstance of a WAIPS supply.
