The WA Government provides significant funding through election commitments, grants and to infrastructure projects.
In receipt of funding, organisations must acknowledge this contribution appropriately.
There are a number of ways funding can be acknowledged. These include, but are not limited to:
Written acknowledgement
The WA Government must be acknowledged in all public material developed in relation to the funded project.
Acknowledgement must be:
- With support from the WA Government; or
- Proudly supported by the WA Government.
Logo
The WA Government logo must be included on all print material as agreed with and approved by LGIRS, including but not limited to:
- facility opening and events
- promotional material including social and digital recognition
- brochures/flyers/posters

The guidelines for use and correct positioning, and the WA Government logo can be downloaded from the LGIRS website.
Approval for use of the logo should be sent to LGIRS Communications Team prior to publishing.
Media
All media opportunities should be offered to the responsible Minister in the first instance. Contact the LGIRS Communications Team to discuss the media and promotional opportunities.
All media releases and promotional opportunities, including social media posts should be sent to LGIRS for approval prior to being released.
All media releases related to the funded project must acknowledge the WA Government as a supporter as per written acknowledgement above.
The funded organisation should endeavour to gain pictorial, written and/or verbal acknowledgement for the WA Government in all print and electronic media opportunities.
Social media
If you would like to tag the WA Government in your funding acknowledgement on social media, please use the following accounts. Posts on social media should acknowledge the WA Government funding rather than individual departments.
For example:
More paws on the ground! Guide Dogs WA has received $5 million in new WA Government funding to continue breeding and training life-changing Guide and Assistance Dogs right here in WA.
This investment will help training the next generation of dog trainers and support more locally bred pups to make a big difference in school, courts, homes and communities across our State.
