You're Welcome WA Access Initiative

The You’re Welcome WA Access Initiative was launched in December 2004 in response to numerous requests for accessible services from the rapidly expanding numbers of people with disabilities and seniors. The initiative provides practical access information to assist people of all ages and abilities to access and enjoy Western Australia.
