25.01.2022 It was fantastic to announce today that Western Australia will have a new emergency services training academy. The McGowan Government has committed to a new fac...ility to replace the aging Forrestfield training academy and money has been allocated to develop a business case and detailed project planning. The new facility will provide the kind of training opportunities that better reflect how much Perth and the surrounding suburbs and regions have changed. And how much more they will change in the future. The new training facility will be used by career and volunteer officers as well as other government agencies and will teach the necessary skills for modern emergency services management.

12.01.2022 Rural road fatalities contributed to two thirds of last year's national road toll. According to the Australian Road Safety Foundation, speed is the number one d...riving issue on WA regional roads, with distraction and fatigue not far behind. 835 drivers tragically lost their lives last year, on regional roads across Australia. While it may be tempting to drive at high speeds, check your phone or operate your vehicle when fatigued, it is not worth your life. Please be mindful on our roads, and remember to enjoy the ride, safely.
