We work hard to understand what’s happening in our economy. We undertake the only
non-government economic forecast for WA. And we provide a quarterly view of
consumer and business confidence so that we can understand the big challenges facing
our society.

We also commit to developing public policy options that reflect the needs of business,
families and the WA workforce.

Our commitment to working with stakeholders across the community extends to work
we do with the Australian Trade Commission, regional Chambers, bilateral Chambers,
Indigenous bodies and many other industry associations in WA and across the nation.
We provide expert advice to organisations on workplace and employee relations, help
businesses expand their international trade footprint and we’ve supported more than
270,000 apprentices and trainees in the past two decades to get a start in their working
life. We also maintain a directory of Aboriginal businesses in WA to support their growth.
Through our Education Development Fund, we also support students to enrich their
economics studies, to understand and access career opportunities and to think of new
ideas to face critical societal problems.

This is how we advance trade and commerce in WA.
