The WA Premier has unveiled a new cost-of-living relief package aimed at easing pressure on households, even as the state budget faces tighter conditions heading into the next financial year.
What the Package Includes
The measures include targeted household bill credits, expanded concessions for pensioners, and additional funding for community support services. Officials say the package is designed to support the households facing the greatest financial strain.
Opposition Reaction
Opposition MPs have welcomed elements of the package but argue it does not go far enough given rising rents and mortgage repayments across the state. Debate is expected to continue when parliament resumes.
Key Details
- Household bill credits to be applied automatically
- Expanded pensioner and concession card support
- New funding for community financial counselling services
The government says further details on eligibility and rollout timing will be released in coming weeks.
