Ombudsman WA serves the Parliament and Western Australians by investigating and resolving complaints about the decision making of government agencies, local governments and universities, undertaking its own motion investigations, reviewing child deaths and family and domestic violence fatalities, and other functions including monitoring and inspecting the use of certain powers by government agencies.
The Ombudsman is the Parliamentary Commissioner for administrative investigations, an officer of the Parliament, independent of the government of the day, and acts impartially and fairly in all of its work. Its services are free and available to everyone.
