We’re here to help.

The Working Women’s Centre WA (WWCWA) offers free and confidential support to women, including legal advice and welfare services, for workplace issues such as:

  • Your rights at work like pay, leave, and safety
  • Unfair treatment because of your gender, race, sexuality or disability
  • Sexual assault or unwanted sexual behaviour aimed at you

Our lawyers and social workers work together as a team to make sure you get the help you need – whether it’s legal representation, practical advice or someone to talk to about your situation.
