Tourism Council WA CEO Evan Hall has today joined Premier Roger Cook and AHAWA in Canberra to meet with Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke and Tourism & Trade Minister Don Farrell on the critical issue of working holiday makers.

Tourism Council WA is opposed to the major proposed cuts to Working Holiday Maker visas, which would fall disproportionately on regional WA, where Working Holiday Makers have an essential role in supporting businesses and filling critical workforce shortages.

Tourism Council WA's ongoing and intensive advocacy on proposed changes to Working Holiday Maker visas continues, with CEO Evan Hall to join Premier Roger Cook in Canberra this week to meet with the Home Affairs Minister.

Tourism Council WA is opposed to massive cuts to Working Holiday Maker visas which fall disproportionately on regional WA, where Working Holiday Makers have an essential role in supporting businesses and filling critical workforce shortages.

Premier Roger Cook will embark on a trip to Canberra on Wednesday along with a delegation of tourism sector heavyweights to reiterate their demands the Commonwealth rethink its planned backpacker visa shakeup.

The changes could cost regional WA an estimated 4,500 tourism and hospitality workers during peak season. We’ve urged the Minister to reconsider and work with industry on a better outcome for regional WA.

22/10/2026

Legislation to create two new WA public holidays from 2028, Easter Saturday in April and Show Day during September/October school holidays, has passed Parliament this week.

Tourism Council WA is concerned about the impact on business costs of the two new public holidays and is generally opposed to additional costs imposed on small tourism businesses.

School holidays and long weekends are peak periods for WA tourism trade, with tourism businesses and regions already at capacity during these times. Adding public holidays during these times does not increase visitation as demand is already high, instead resulting in increased costs to both businesses, through increased staffing and other costs, and consumers, through costs like public holiday surcharges and increased rates.
