The Leavers Team

Leavers WA

Leavers WA is a State Government harm minimisation and crime prevention strategy led by the WA Police Force. The strategy is delivered in partnership with government agencies, community organisations and local stakeholders who each play a vital role in keeping young people safe.

We acknowledge and thank all partners and contractors for their ongoing commitment to supporting young people and ensuring Leavers celebrations in Western Australia remain safe, well supported and positive.
