Combined logos are used to acknowledge funding from the WA Government and Lotterywest.

The WA Government logo should be placed appropriately in relation to your own logo or identity. If other organisations are also supporting your organisation, please make sure that the logos aren’t crowded too closely together.
The WA Government logo should always be placed first and to the left, except on the occasion that federal funding is provided, in which case, the WA Government logo will sit immediately to the right of the Australian Government logo.
