Here’s what’s latest on the Western Australian government fuel voucher as of May 2026.
The WA Government has announced a one-off Fuel Support Payment of $100 for WA drivers license holders, with claims opening on July 1, 2026. The payment is delivered through the ServiceWA app and is accessible to holders of WA driver licenses, including learner’s permits and provisional licenses. Alternative claiming methods will be available for those who cannot or prefer not to use the app. [Source: multiple WA government and news outlets reporting the July 1 start and ServiceWA delivery][1][2][7]
The payment is part of a broader cost-of-living relief package disclosed in the 2026-27 WA State Budget, which also includes other supports such as a Student Assistance Payment. The package emphasizes delivering practical financial relief to Western Australians, with the fuel payment notably highlighted in official budget communications.

Estimates indicate the measure could reach up to 2.1 million eligible residents, reflecting the broad eligibility tied to holding a WA driver license (including learner and provisional categories). The program is described as a direct cash relief for motorists to help offset rising fuel costs. [Source: budget summaries and media coverage][4][6][3]
Media coverage notes the claim window opens July 1, 2026, and that the ServiceWA app is the primary channel, with accessible alternatives for those unable to use the app. Users with a Digital ID can access the payment when the window opens. [Source: servicewa announcements and press coverage][2][7]
