WACOSS is a not-for-profit, member based organisation and the peak body for the social service sector in WA.

Since 1956, WACOSS has been developing and strengthening the non-government community services sector's capacity to assist all Western Australians.

At the heart of its activities, lies the belief that the mark of a civilised community is the support and help it gives to those most in need.

WACOSS and its members are committed to a socially just and sustainable society for all West Australians. We share a vision of an inclusive, just and equitable society now and in the future.
