The Western Australian Police Force advise:
(a-b) This information is not kept historically as subsidy values change constantly with rental adjustments.
(c) In the Kimberley district as at 18 May 2022, the cost of private rental subsidies equates to $7 787 494 for the current financial year.
The Western Australian Police Force rental subsidies allow for flexibility in leasing arrangements to provide housing for key government workers to meet the operational requirements of the agencies.
