2026 ANNUAL REPORT
Our 2025 - 2026 Annual Report 'Where Flourishing Begins' continues a story we've told over the past four years, from defining the meaning of impact to embedding flourishing in our strategy. This year, our focus is on beginnings. Across every service, the Y WA laid the groundwork for every child and young person to flourish, through new foundations and first moments where change takes root. This report celebrates the year that made it possible. This is where flourishing begins, so that from here, flourishing starts.

Dr. Tim McDonald
The Y WA CEO
This year has been one of growth, innovation and laying the foundations for the next chapter of Y WA’s journey.
Across Western Australia, we have remained focused on a clear ambition: creating the conditions for children, young people and communities to flourish. Every day, I see that purpose brought to life by our people. Whether in an Early Learning Centre, youth centre, recreation facility, classroom or community program, our staff create environments where children and young people feel safe, valued, supported and empowered to flourish.
