Support payments available from July for Western ...
From July, a Fuel Support Payment and the 2026 WA Student Assistance Payment will be available through the ServiceWA app.
www.wa.gov.auHere’s the latest on Western Australia’s fuel voucher program.
- A one-off Fuel Support Payment of $100 is slated to open in July 2026. It will be available to anyone holding a Western Australian driver’s licence, including learner’s permits, provisional, and extraordinary licences. Claims open through the ServiceWA app, with Digital ID login suggested, and alternative claiming options for those who can’t or don’t want to use the app [source: WA government and multiple outlets reporting the July 2026 start].[1][6][7]
- The payment is part of a broader cost-of-living relief package in the WA Budget, alongside other measures such as a Student Assistance Payment. The government framed it as direct support to Western Australian motorists, funded by the state budget surplus.[3][6]
- Coverage estimates indicate more than 2 million eligible drivers/licence holders in WA will benefit from this voucher.[4][3]
Key details to watch
- Eligibility focuses on WA driver’s licence holders, not just full licences, expanding to learners and provisional holders from July 1, 2026.[2][1]
- The ServiceWA app is the primary claiming channel, but alternative options will be available for those unable or unwilling to use the app.[1][2]
- The initiative is part of a broader set of cost-of-living relief measures in the WA Budget, with a total surplus noted in recent coverage.[6][8]
