ServiceWA App, 100$ Fuel Voucher Claim

If you hold a Western Australian driver's licence, there is a one-off $100 payment with your name on it. The WA Government's Fuel Support Payment is a cost-of-living measure that puts $100 directly into the bank accounts of eligible motorists, and the fastest way to claim it is through the ServiceWA app. Claims opened on 1 July 2026 and stay open until 31 December 2026.

This guide covers everything in one place: what the payment is, who qualifies, how to claim it step by step, how long it takes, and what to do if something goes wrong. If you want the detailed walkthrough, our step-by-step claiming guide breaks the process down screen by screen.

What the Fuel Support Payment actually is

Let's clear up the most common misunderstanding first: this is not a voucher you flash at the petrol station. It is a one-off $100 cash payment deposited into your Australian bank account. You can spend it however you like — fuel, groceries, bills. The government describes it as fuel cost relief, but once it lands in your account, it's yours.

The payment was announced as part of the 2026–27 WA State Budget's cost-of-living package. It sits alongside the returning WA Student Assistance Payment for families with school-aged children. According to government figures reported in the media, close to 700,000 Western Australians had already claimed the payment within the first couple of months, with more than $62 million paid out to households.

Who can claim it

Eligibility is straightforward. You can claim if you:

• Hold a valid Western Australian driver's licence — this includes learner's permits, provisional (P-plate) licences, and extraordinary licences
• Have a WA residential address
• Have an Australian bank account in your name

It is one payment per eligible person. You cannot claim if your licence has expired or is suspended, if you hold a licence from another state or territory, if you hold an overseas licence, or if you are a Western Australian currently living outside the state.

How to claim through the ServiceWA app

The ServiceWA app is the fastest and most convenient claiming channel. Here is the process:

1. Download the ServiceWA app free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and make sure it is updated to the latest version.
2. Set up your Digital ID. You log into ServiceWA with a Digital ID (myID). If you have not set one up before, allow a little extra time — identity verification with documents like your driver's licence or passport can take a few days to process.
3. Open the Offers tab. Once logged in, head to the Offers section of the app, where the Fuel Support Payment is listed.
4. Enter your details. You will need your valid WA driver's licence number and your Australian bank account details.
5. Submit and wait. Claims made through the app are generally paid within 5–7 business days.

If you would rather not use the app, you can also claim through an online eform or a paper form — just expect processing to take longer, up to six to eight weeks for paper claims.

What happens after you claim

Once approved, the $100 is deposited into the bank account you provided. There is nothing to activate and nowhere to redeem it. One thoughtful option the government built into the app: you can choose to donate your payment to charity instead, picking from categories like food and emergency relief, children's charities, or community support.

Tips for a smooth claim

• Set up your Digital ID early. Document verification is the most common bottleneck — do it before you sit down to claim.
• Double-check your bank details. A wrong account number is the easiest way to delay your own payment.
• Do not wait until December. The window closes on 31 December 2026, and support channels get busy near deadlines.
• Ignore copycat texts and emails. The government will never ask you to claim through a random link in a text message. Only ever claim inside the official ServiceWA app or through wa.gov.au. If a message asks for your licence number or bank details out of the blue, treat it as a scam.

The ServiceWA app beyond the payment

ServiceWA has grown into a genuinely useful everyday app for WA residents. FuelWatch shows you the cheapest petrol near you, SharkSmartWA gives real-time shark sighting alerts for beachgoers, FishCatchWA helps fishers log catches within legal limits, and learner drivers can use the digital logbook for supervised hours. If you claimed the payment through the app, these extras are worth a look — read our 2026 ServiceWA app overview for what's new.
