We’re proud to introduce our inaugural Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Strategy 2025-2030 (553KB), reaffirming our commitment to creating an inclusive organisation that reflects and supports the diverse backgrounds, abilities, experiences, and needs of our employees and the communities we serve.
What is the DEI Strategy?
Our DEI Strategy sets out a five-year roadmap to embed inclusion across all aspects of service delivery and employment practices. It also demonstrates how we will meet state and federal obligations and advance substantive equality. It consolidates and replaces several expired plans, including:
- Multicultural Action Plan
- Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
- EEO Management Plan
This unified framework focuses on delivering:
- Inclusive services
- Accessible buildings and facilities
- Accessible information
- Inclusive representation, consultation, feedback and complaint processes
- Inclusive employment practices and workforce culture
Who does it support?
- The strategy prioritises seven key diversity groups:
- People with disability
- Culturally and linguistically diverse people
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- Women
- People of diverse sexuality and/or genders
- Youth
- Mature-aged people
Built on the principles of intersectionality, it recognises that individuals may belong to multiple diversity groups and experience overlapping challenges. Actions outlined in the strategy aim to benefit all seven groups in meaningful ways

Website accessibility statement
Show moreWestern Australia Police Force is committed to continually improving the accessibility and usability of our website to ensure it is accessible to as many people as possible – regardless of device, technology or ability.
WA Police Force is endeavouring to meet World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 web standard level AA compliance.
While this website has been developed to follow the accepted standards and guidelines for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
Accessibility features
Below are a range of accessibility features that have been implemented on this site:
- Alternative text for images – providing brief description of images in use. Images used for decorative purposes do not contain alternative text and there may be images on this site without "alt tags". We are working towards fixing this issue.
- Colour contrast - optimum visual contrast has been used to ensure users with visual impairments, low vision and colour blindness are able to see the content. Suggestive search text and icons used for decorative purposes may not meet the optimum visual contrast.
- Date pickers - can have the date typed in directly.
- Documents - most documents state the type of file.
- Links - all internal and external links open in the same window. Some links on this site may open in a new window without informing the user. We are working towards fixing this issue.
- Navigation menu is accessible via touch screens
- Responsive design for mobile devices including desktops
- Skip to content links - a logical tab order and content available in a linear format to navigate using assistive technologies
- Tables – where practical tables are only used to display tabular information with row and column headings defined in the HTML code used for assistive technologies.
- Text resizing – using the zoom and increase font function in your browser's menu.
