Are you passionate about making a difference for Western Australia?

We want to hear from you.

About us

The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) is at the centre of Government decision-making. As the principal economic and financial advisor, we provide leadership and strategic advice and influence to support the delivery of services and outcomes for the benefit of Western Australia.

What we do is integral to the Government’s decision-making processes about where and how to spend taxpayer’s money to ensure Western Australians have access to quality services on a financially sustainable basis.

We lead procurement and leverage our buying power to secure products and services for government, achieving value for money for WA.

We collect revenue to fund government services and administer payment of grants and subsidies to the WA community.

The Utilities, Transactions and Climate Directorate provides advice on matters relating to the electricity and water sectors, climate change policies and programs, and significant Government Trading Enterprise initiatives and contracts. The Directorate also coordinates the Household Model, which assesses the impact of Government fees and charges on a typical household.
