Inequality and disadvantage have always existed in WA, but for many it is now no longer something that just happens to others. More and more people are at a point where they are asking, "What if it was me?' The sector's 'What if it was me?' campaign asks everyone to question what sort of Western Australia they want to live in, and what support they want available to them and people they care about. The WA Peaks Forum invites the sector to ask 'What if it Was Me?' by following the campaign at @PeaksWA or Facebook and using the advocacy resources on the election campaign website.
