Department of Treasury WA

What Department of Treasury WA does

The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) is a central department of the Government of Western Australia, headquartered at the David Malcolm Justice Centre in Perth with statutory responsibility for the state's economic and financial management. It serves as the principal economic and financial advisor to the WA Government, providing leadership on fiscal policy, state budgeting, procurement strategy, revenue collection, and grants and subsidies administration. Its primary customer is the Government of Western Australia itself, with end-users being all WA residents and businesses who interact with the department through tax obligations, grants, concessions, and regulatory services.

The department operates a portfolio of digital products built around government financial-management systems. RevenueWA is the consolidated online portal for transfer duty, land tax, payroll tax, mineral and petroleum royalties, first home owner grants, building grants, energy subsidies, and pensioner and senior concessions. Automated decision-making systems perform eligibility assessment and compliance verification via data-matching with third-party sources, while the Pensioner Rebate eXchange enables secure data exchange between RevenueWA and Local Government Authorities. The Racing, Gaming and Liquor division operates the RGL Portal for license applications, return lodgements, and prohibition order lookups, and the Banned Drinkers Register, which scans customer photo ID to enforce takeaway-alcohol restrictions in designated areas. Additional offerings include the WA State Budget portal, Financial Administration Bookcase publications, Quarterly Financial Results Reports, Common Use Arrangements for government procurement, unclaimed money services, and public-sector superannuation administration.

DTF is funded through Government of Western Australia appropriations rather than commercial revenue, so pricing is non-market for core services. Transaction-based fees apply only to narrow streams such as gaming permit applications and betting tax enquiries. Distribution is multi-channel: self-serve via RevenueWA and the RGL Portal, walk-in service at Perth headquarters, and a network of nine regional offices covering Gascoyne, Goldfields, Great Southern, Kimberley (Kununurra and Broome), Mid West, Peel, Pilbara, South West, and Wheatbelt, plus additional metropolitan offices. The department is led by Under Treasurer Joann Wilkie PSM with a Deputy Under Treasurer, five Assistant Under Treasurers covering Economic, Advisory Services, Agency Budgeting and Governance, Strategic Policy and Evaluation, and Procurement Policy and Strategy, plus the Commissioner of State Revenue.
