The WA Police Union has been providing police officers with industrial and legal support for more than 100 years. WAPU acts as a passionate advocate, lobbying for better conditions and protections on behalf of police officers.

WAPU has been very successful in achieving great outcomes for its Members, who include police officers, police auxiliary officers, cadets and recruits. We have close to 100 per cent membership of all officers across the State.

WAPU strives to ensure that Members always get value for money, and endeavours to provide Members with an extensive range of services including:

  • Legal Assistance
  • Industrial Services
  • Death Benefits
  • Member Benefits.

Legal Assistance

WAPU’s Legal Team provides a high quality service for Members who need legal representation or advice on matters such as disciplinary action, managerial initiated action, investigations, criminal injuries, personal injuries and medical retirement.

Members are first required to apply for assistance by contacting WAPU HQ.

Industrial Services

WAPU is the sole negotiator to collectively bargain on behalf of Members in the development of a replacement Agreement that reflects Members’ contemporary values and conditions.

Officers who are not financial Members of WAPU have no direct avenue or access to individually bargain or negotiate with WA Police in relation to salary and conditions.

WAPU’s Industrial and Field Teams are also able to assist individual Members with advice in relation to entitlements and workplace issues.
