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.
