Empower WA is a collection of local community sector groups who believe that as West Australians we can reduce our bills, create jobs and fight climate change through positive policies and initiatives.
We are working together to create a better future for our children.
A vision for WA
As West Australians, we are in a prime position to take advantage of green technology and new ways of doing things.

Kelly Moss, the coordinator of EmpowerWA partner 'Living Smart', writes about the journey she had on the road to Living Smarter.
I participated in a Living Smart Course in Fremantle at the end of 2012. I was looking forward to learning more about how I could live more sustainably in my own home and to meeting other people that were motivated to create change on a local level. Our group was very diverse with people of all ages and backgrounds which made for some interesting sharing and conversations.
The EMPOWERWA project was officially launched this morning.

I am of average and disheveled appearance. Nor am I an eco-maniac . So there won’t be any photographs of me looking impossibly gorgeous and I won’t make you feel bad.
