Disability Services

Advancing opportunities, community participation and quality of life for people with disability.
Last updated:

Creating a truly welcoming and inclusive Western Australia requires a community-wide commitment that involves people with disability, their families and carers.

The Department of Communities (Communities) works to advance opportunities, community participation and quality of life for people with disability.

By partnering and collaborating with disability sector organisations, business and government, and other stakeholders, Communities aims to broaden these opportunities and continue to provide improved services and supports across Western Australia.
