WA Police Union

WA Day looks a little different for our police officers. 🚔💙
Today, while most people are enjoying the long weekend, police officers across WA are still out there working to keep the community safe.
If you see an officer on duty today, take a moment to show some appreciation:
✨ Say thank you
✨ Give them a high five
✨ Grab a selfie
✨ Tag us using so we can share the love
Let’s make this WA Day one to remember for the officers who show up for WA every single day.

"As a police officer, I know public holidays are part of the job."
"We work while others celebrate. We miss family lunches, weekends away, and time with our kids, because the community still needs us 👮‍♀️"
What many people don’t realise is that WA police officers don’t receive the same public holiday penalty rates that many other workers across WA do.
This campaign isn’t about refusing to work public holidays. It’s about fairness and recognition.
We’re asking the community to stand with us and help raise awareness for equal public holiday pay for the officers who continue serving WA every single holiday 💙
Engage with a police officer on WA Day and don’t forget to tag us in your post!

Overnight, the campaign has received so much engagement and support from the WA community.

Our goal is to create public awareness on the issues police officers face and to show gratitude for all their sacrifices.

A special thank you to WA Incident Alerts and X-Golf Morley for hosting and sponsoring this competition below.

Nothing can and will happen without community support!

A huge thank you to X-Golf in Morley for supporting this community initiative and helping us celebrate the people who help keep WA safe

For many West Australians, WA Day is about family, friends and celebrating our great state.
But for thousands of WA Police officers, it’s another day on the job.
While communities come together across WA, police continue responding to emergencies, patrolling our roads, and helping keep everyone safe.
This WA Day, we recognise the officers serving our community across the long weekend — and support fair recognition for the work they do every day. 💙🇦🇺
