The Department of Treasury manages Western Australia’s public sector finances and formulates and implements the annual State Budget. Treasury develops economic and revenue forecasts, monitors developments in the State’s economy, major revenue bases and public sector finances, to ensure Western Australia remains on track against the State Government’s budgetary objectives and targets.
Treasury’s policy advisory role covers a wide range of issues, including Commonwealth State financial relations, revenue policy, public sector wages policy, public sector superannuation policy, and advice on alternative models of service delivery and infrastructure provision.
