Better services

Improving government services for you and your business.
Last updated:

The WA Government wants to make it easier for you to deal with us. We know that people and businesses expect to be able to connect with government from anywhere, at any time. This means that we need to invest in innovative whole of government digital technologies that allow us to provide more convenient, intuitive and accessible digital services.

Our objectives

  1. Make most of your transactions with the WA Government available online.
  2. Integrate WA Government services to simplify the way you interact with us.
  3. Design WA Government services around your life events.
  4. Be digital first, not digital only.

Our approach for better services

The WA Government will continue to focus on improving your customer service journey with us. To do this, we’ll build whole of government digital capabilities that our agencies can connect their individual services to.

These capabilities will simplify online government interactions by allowing us to design services around your needs and life events, and will reduce the need to deal with multiple agencies or layers of government.

You’ll be able to securely log in to our whole of government portal WA.gov.au, using your trusted digital identity. The portal will allow you to access services from agencies in one secure place. For businesses, this means spending less time transacting with different government agencies and more time with your customers.

With your consent, participating WA Government agencies will share information, so that you don’t have to tell us the same thing again and again.

We’ll design our services around your life events. The WA Government will work on integrating services that involve multiple agencies so that when you experience a significant life event, such as the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, or starting a business, your customer experience is seamless.

Investing in whole of government digital capabilities that agencies can connect to will result in greater efficiencies for agencies, and a more convenient and intuitive customer experience for our people and businesses.

We’ll continue to reform the way that government procures and consumes ICT services. We’ll ensure that WA Government ICT procurement processes are flexible and robust, and what we ask for delivers value for money. We’ll continue to build a workforce that allows government to make better decisions on what ICT service capabilities it needs.

We’ll also continue to move away from being owners and operators of ICT infrastructure, to agile consumers. This allows us to take full advantage of digital transformation utilising whole of government capabilities.

We want to give you the choice to visit a WA Government front counter, talk to us over the phone or access government services online. We’ll continue to provide these different service channels to make sure that our services are accessible to all Western Australians.
