This Multicultural Plan 2025-2030 aligns with the Ombudsman’s vision of fair, accountable and responsive decision-making and practices, with one of our core values to provide our services equitably to all Western Australians.

This report describes the functions and operations of the Ombudsman Western Australia for the year ending 30 June 2024.

Overall, I have found that steps have been taken, or are proposed to be taken, to give effect to each of the recommendations arising from the Investigation into family and domestic violence and suicide of October 2022.

This report describes the functions and operations of the Ombudsman Western Australia for the year ending 30 June 2023.

I undertake the important responsibilities of reviewing family and domestic violence fatalities and child deaths. Arising from this work, I identified the need to undertake a major own motion investigation into family and domestic violence and suicide.

As a result of the Investigation, I made seven recommendations to the Office of the Public Advocate. I was very pleased that OPA agreed to all seven recommendations. I report to Parliament on the steps taken to give effect to the recommendations arising from an investigation.

Following a request to me by the Honourable John Quigley MLA, Attorney General, to consider the handling of complaints by the Legal Profession Complaints Committee (the LPCC), I completed an investigation into the handling of complaints by the LPCC on 11 December 2020. This report sets out the steps taken by the LSCC to give effect to my recommendations.

This report describes the functions and operations of the Ombudsman Western Australia for the year ending 30 June 2022.

I gave a commitment to Parliament that, following the tabling of each major own motion investigation, my Office would undertake a comprehensive review of the steps taken by government agencies to give effect to our recommendations and then table the results of this review in Parliament twelve months after the tabling of the major own motion investigation. Accordingly, I am now pleased to provide Parliament with A report on the steps taken to give effect to the recommendations arising from Preventing suicide by children and young people 2020, September 2021.
