The answer I have is dated as of
yesterday. I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(4) As
advised yesterday—that is, Tuesday—members are regularly
updated on how the Cook Labor government is delivering cost-of-living support
to all communities, households, small businesses and families across Western Australia.
This includes encouraging members to assist their school communities to apply
for the WA student assistance payment. The government and I—the
minister—have encouraged, and continue to encourage, all members of
Parliament to promote the WA student assistance payment. Claims can be
submitted via the ServiceWA app, online or by completing a paper form. This
information and further information for parents and carers on the eligibility
can be found at the Department of Education's website. Members are
encouraged to promote this resource and remind their constituents that claims
should be submitted by 28 June 2024.
