The work of the community service sector is immeasurable and essential. It’s timely to celebrate and recognise the services and individuals that are innovative and creative, that are dedicated to engaging and activating community to achieve positive change for people doing it the absolute toughest. We celebrate their strength, collective power, and their dedication to improving the lives of others throughout communities across Western Australia.

The Community Services Excellence Awards are a longstanding partnership between the Department of Communities and WACOSS, supported by Lotterywest, and in 2027 has partnered again with the Council of Aboriginal Services Western Australia (CASWA) to deliver a new award category.

This celebration continues to be an vital opportunity for the sector to reflect on its achievements, and to commemorate both these and the significant differences made within our communities as a result.

Award finalists and winners will be honoured at a presentation ceremony held in conjunction with the WACOSS Conference in the evening of Monday 3 May 2027.
