WA's $100 Fuel Support Payment: How to Claim It on the ServiceWA App
If you drive in Western Australia, there is a one-off $100 heading your way. The State Government's Fuel Support Payment opens for claims on 1 July 2026, and most licence holders can grab it in a few minutes through the ServiceWA app. It is a one-off, limited-time payment, so it pays to be ready on day one rather than leaving it and forgetting.
Who can claim it
The payment is open to anyone with a valid Western Australian driver's licence. That includes learner's permits, provisional licences, and extraordinary licences, so younger drivers and most households are covered.
You are not eligible if your WA licence is cancelled, suspended, or expired, so if your licence has lapsed, it is worth sorting that out first.
How to claim it on the ServiceWA app
From 1 July 2026, claiming takes only a few steps:
- Download the ServiceWA app from the App Store or Google Play, or update it if you already have it.
- Sign in with your Digital ID, or set one up in the app if you have not already.
- Open the Discovery section and tap Offers.
- Select Fuel Support Payment.
- Log in with your Digital ID and fill in the form with your licence details.
- Choose to receive your $100, or donate it to charity (more on that below).
That is it. Because it is a one-off claim, it is worth doing it properly the first time.
Get set up before 1 July
The single thing that trips people up is the Digital ID step. To claim through the app you need a verified Digital ID, and setting that up at the last minute is not much fun. The announcement has already sent the app soaring: more than 1.3 million Western Australians had downloaded ServiceWA by mid-June, before claims even opened, so you will have plenty of company in the queue come 1 July.
Our advice is to get it sorted in the quiet week beforehand: download the app and complete your Digital ID now, so on 1 July the claim itself takes two minutes. If you are not sure what Digital ID actually is or how it works, we explained it in plain English in Australia's Digital ID: what it means for your identity.
Prefer not to use the app?
You will not be forced onto the app. From 1 July there are also eform and paper options for people who cannot or would rather not use ServiceWA. The trade-off is time: those claims can take up to six weeks to process, where the app is close to instant. If you are comfortable with the app, it is the faster route by a long way.
A nice option: donate it
If you do not need the hundred dollars, the app lets you donate your payment to charity instead. The Government has lined up a list of WA charities you can give to directly when you claim, so the choice is yours: keep it for the bowser, or pass it on.
The Fuel Support Payment is a small win, but it is free money for a few minutes of effort. The only real catch is the setup, so get the app and your Digital ID ready now and you will be claiming in no time on 1 July.
Claims open on 1 July 2026 and run for a limited window, so do not sit on it. For the exact dates, the full list of charities, and the latest details, the official ServiceWA Fuel Support Payment page is the place to check.
