About us
The Department of Communities is Western Australia’s major human services department that brings together vital services and functions that support individual, family and community wellbeing. Working closely with our partners across government and the community services sector, our areas of responsibility include disability services, child protection and family support, housing, community services, prevention of family and domestic violence, seniors, ageing, veterans, volunteering and women’s interests. We also lead the State’s social recovery, following challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We support many Western Australians, with a focus on some of the most vulnerable people in our state. The job we do is rewarding but can be challenging. People, place and home is at the core of everything we do and why we do it. We work for the people who make up our communities across Western Australia; we help people be the best they can be. We focus our efforts on building places that are inclusive and connected and offer everyone the opportunity to prosper. And we support children and families so that they can have a physically and emotionally secure place to call home. We promote a diverse workforce and embrace a high standard of equal opportunity, health and safety, and ethical practice. Join us and work in a role where you can make a real difference to the lives of children, families and communities throughout Western Australia.

Join us in farewelling, Coral 🐾👋 After years of dedicated service, Coral the guide dog is retiring. Coral joined the Housing Authority in 2016 (approximately 60 dog years ago!) and has since worked with the WA Electoral Commission, the Ministerial Advisory Council on Disability, and the Department of Transport, where she served as a dog guide technical adviser for METRONET. She even left her mark on Premier McGowan with two muddy paw prints during a meeting with the Public Sector Commission! A keen traveller, Coral also had the unforgettable experience of a submarine ride to see her namesake on The Great Barrier Reef. Today, we celebrated her last day with a paw-some send off and a well deserved pup-cake. 💜🧁 Join us in wishing her all the best on her next adventure.

Last week, we reflected on the strength, resilience, history, and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. As we honoured the rich Aboriginal culture that has thrived on this land for thousands of years, we kept the fire burning. 🔥💪🖤 Check out some of our amazing team members who supported our #NAIDOCWeek activation at our Walyalup campus.
