Climate Health WA Inquiry

Overview

In March 2019, the Hon Roger Cook, Minister for Health, announced an inquiry into the impacts of climate change on health in Western Australia (WA).

The Climate Health WA Inquiry will be conducted over several months and includes an opportunity to provide written submissions. The closing date for submissions is 30 August 2019. Early responses are welcomed.

A final report will be presented to the Minister by March 2020.

The Terms of Reference (see below) set out the matters that will be considered by the Inquiry.

Why your views matter

We are particularly interested in receiving submissions that:

• highlight particular challenges, strengths, opportunities or initiatives relevant to WA, that may not be evident from the national or international literature
• outline not only what the issues are but how problems can be addressed
• describe what you or your organisation would be willing to do or contribute following the Inquiry
