Embarking on a journey towards a career in policing is both exciting and challenging. The Western Australia Police Force understands the commitment and dedication required by applicants, and as a gesture of support, offers reimbursement for certain expenses incurred during the final assessment stages of the recruitment process. This assistance not only eases the financial responsibilities of applicants but also underscores the organisation's commitment to fostering a strong and diverse team of law enforcement professionals.

For applicants who successfully navigate their way to the final assessment stages, the WA Police Force provides reimbursement for a range of essential costs. These include:

  • First Aid Certificate, which is a prerequisite for the role.
  • Standard P58 medical assessment, ensuring that applicants meet the necessary health requirements.
  • Visual Acuity Assessment.
  • Bankruptcy Check.
  • Costs associated with Fingerprints and DNA.

To take advantage of these reimbursement benefits, eligible applicants are required to provide proof of payment for the covered expenses and complete a straightforward claim form provided by Police Recruiting. Eligible positions include police officer (entry-level), returning officer, interstate transitional officer, Aboriginal cadet, cadet and police auxiliary officer.

Police Recruiting is dedicated to guiding and supporting applicants through this process. They will provide applicants with comprehensive information about how to submit their reimbursement claims, allowing them to focus on their preparations and performance during their recruitment phase.
