Every year 1 in 4 Western Australians report an injury requiring treatment by a health professional.

In 2022-23, we provided 639 free counselling sessions to those affected by road crashes. 

About Counselling

WA’s injury events cost $9.6 billion in 2012 due to health care needs, loss of productivity and quality of life lost.
