The Cook Labor Government's $100 Fuel Support Payment has been claimed by nearly 700,000 Western Australians, helping ease cost-of-living pressures across the State.
More than $63 million in fuel support payments have been paid toWestern Australian motorists since the initiative launched on 1 July.
The one-off payment is available to all eligible WA driver's licence holders, including learner,
provisional and extraordinary licence holders.
The generosity of Western Australians has also been on display, with thousands of people choosing to donate their payment to charity, resulting in $337,500 going to those in need.
Most claims have been made through the ServiceWA app, the quickest and most convenient way to claim the payment.
A dedicated 24/7 support helpline as well as an email support service is available for assistance with the app.
To assist those who need additional support in using the technology, ServiceWA digital assist kiosks are also operating in Perth and Bunbury, offering in-person support to use the ServiceWA app and set up a digital ID.
More information about the kiosk's locations and opening times can be found at wa.gov.au.
About 42,500 paper claims have been made for the fuel support payment, with these claims to take up to eight weeks to process.
Eligible WA drivers who are unable or do not wish to use the ServiceWA app, can access alternative claim options on wa.gov.au, which includes an e-form.
The $100 payment is part of the Cook Labor Government's more than $1 billion cost-of-living support package in the 2026-27 State Budget.
Families can also use ServiceWA to claim the WA Student Assistance Payment from 20 July, with $150 available for kindergarten and primary school students and $250 for high school students.
Other offers on the ServiceWA App include the Treebate program, providing rebates of up to $150 for planting a native tree, and the WA Tree Recovery Program, providing a $150 rebate towards replacing trees removed due to the impact of the Polyphagous shot-hole borer.
The ServiceWA App is also the best place to claim a Kids Access All Areas Voucher, which helps families purchase tickets to children's cultural activities. Applications for that program will reopen in August.
Western Australian motorists have until 31 December 2026 to claim their $100 Fuel Support Payment.
As stated by Premier Roger Cook:
"I am pleased to see nearly 700,000 Western Australians claim their fuel support payment.
"My government is committed to easing cost-of-living pressures, and the Fuel Support Payment is practical support that puts money directly into the back pocket of Western Australian families.
"The fact that more than 3,000 Western Australians have chosen to donate their payment to those in need is a reflection on the generosity of the people of this great State."
As stated by Treasurer and Transport Minister Rita Saffioti:
"The Cook Labor Government's Fuel Support Payment is delivering real relief for Western Australians, with nearly $62 million paid to motorists across the State so far.
"Whether you're driving the kids to school, commuting to work, University or TAFE this $100 will help ease the pressure at the pump.
"There's more relief on the way for WA families, with the third round of the WA Student Assistance Payment set to open next week."
