Business Summary
The Department of Housing and Works builds, maintains and manages Western Australia’s social housing and key non-residential infrastructure projects such as schools, hospitals and police stations.
About Us

In July 2025, the WA Government reformed the former Department of Finance together with housing delivery functions from the Department of Communities to create the Department of Housing and Works, a single agency responsible for social housing delivery and government infrastructure across Western Australia.

What We Do

Housing and Works oversees the construction, maintenance and refurbishment of public housing – prioritizing affordable housing initiatives for the community – and other key government infrastructure projects including public schools and police stations.

We are responsible for social housing works, tenancy management and the provision of housing in remote Aboriginal communities. We also manage properties used by government employees.

To support other government agencies, we manage office accommodation, State Fleet and deliver agency procurement and statutory planning and asset policy services.
