| Description | The Department of Communities is a multi-function human services agency. It was established in 2017 as part of a major reform of the Western Australian public sector. Everything we do is about people, place and home. People... reflects our focus on the needs and aspirations of the people we serve. We support people to be the best they can be, and to live a good and meaningful life, a life with opportunity. Place... relates to a collective sense of self and how and where people connect to the world around them. Home... is more than a building: it has a deep, emotional meaning. While home is different for everyone, it should provide both physical and emotional security. The newly-formed Department of Communities comprises several existing agencies and their components, including: Department for Child Protection and Family Support; Department of Housing (including Housing Authority); Disability Services Commission; The communities component of the Department of Local Government and Communities; Regional Services Reform Unit; The regional coordination and engagement component of the former Department of Aboriginal Affairs. In agreement with the new Department of Justice, components of Youth Justice Services will transfer to the new Department of Communities in the near future. Until this transition occurs, Youth Justice Services will continue to be part of the Department of Justice. |
