Start activityWhere to find concessions
Keeping up with all the bills and expenses of modern living can feel like a full-time job in itself! The wa.gov.au website has a Concessions available in Western Australia section, that gathers all the available concessions and savings in one place.

The Concessions available in Western Australia page lets you see different categories for savings, including:

- Travel and transport for travel concession cards
- Tourism including national parks passes.
- Legal services including help with drafting a will

Finding petrol prices near you
The Western Australian Government has created a website named FuelWatch, to help you find the cheapest petrol prices near you.
Type fuelwatch.wa.gov.au in your web browser's search bar and then press the Enter key.
You will see a map, with a list of fuel prices on the left. You can move the map around by clicking on it with your mouse.
You can also enter your postcode to see fuel prices close to you.
eSafety tip
It's safe to let the FuelWatch website know your browser's location, as this will not give it your precise street address, but instead a location based on which Internet Service Provider you use.
FuelWatch won't save your location either when you finish using the site and close your browser.
Well done!
