The WA Government has updated its ServiceWA app to include FuelWatch, providing an easy-to-navigate, interactive map that allows its users to find the best fuel price deals across Western Australia. 

 “As fuel prices continue to rise, the addition of FuelWatch to the ServiceWA app will allow WA families to ensure they are getting the best deals available across the State,” Commerce Minister Roger Cook said. 

“The FuelWatch website has more than 1.5 million views each month, highlighting how important this service is across WA.” 

The inclusion of FuelWatch, which was initially only accessible through the government website, ensures that Western Australians can have easy access to fuel prices available to them. 

Minister Cook encourages Western Australians to utilise FuelWatch on the ServiceWA app. 

The addition of FuelWatch to the ServiceWA app is the WA Government’s next step toward redefining how Western Australians interact with government services in a digital world.  

The app was launched in January to provide citizens with a free, convenient and secure mobile application for the pandemic. The app then played a major role in seeing WA through its Safe Transition phase by allowing people to show proof of vaccination, check-in at businesses and venues, and access their G2G Pass for interstate travel. 

The app provides access to important COVID-19 information, such as how to prepare your household for COVID-19 and where to get tested and vaccinated. 

With nearly all previous COVID-19 restrictions eased, the WA Government is now transforming and expanding the list of government services offered by the ServiceWA app. 

“In the midst of the pandemic and to prepare for WA’s Safe Transition, the McGowan Government delivered the convenient and secure ServiceWA app, with more than 933, 463 people now registered,” Innovation and ICT Minister Stephen Dawson said.  

“As we continue to navigate COVID-19, it’s important to further improve the ServiceWA app on a whole-of-government channel.” 

The WA Government is exploring the inclusion of additional features, such as: 

• SmartRider; 
• Seniors Card; and 
• Emergency notifications (via Emergency WA). 

The app has been downloaded over 1.2 million times, and the addition of FuelWatch will allow for users to conveniently access fuel prices when and where they need to.   

“The ServiceWA app is free, secure and convenient and will be expanded to provide Western Australians a one-stop digital location to interact with the State Government,” Minister Dawson said.
