Western Australia

Welcome to STEP Western Australia

The increase in the size and complexity of trusts and estates in Western Australia coupled with a net inflow of migrants from other jurisdictions indicates that the need for specialist services in this area will increase. Yet, the pool of experienced practitioners is small and there is potential for the quality of educational opportunities to be enhanced. For this reason, in 2009 a branch of STEP was established in Perth.

STEP Western Australia was launched on 22 July 2009 by French CJ of the High Court of Australia, Martin CJ of the Supreme Court of Western Australia and Gzell J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and Chairman of STEP New South Wales.

STEP Western Australia has received great support from the trusts and estate planning community in Perth and currently has 37 members.  Our members are a mixture of accountants and lawyers.

STEP Western Australia’s Resources page contains the following links:

• copies of the  STEP Western Australia newsletter which is published every three months; 
• copies of papers presented at our previous events with the consent of the presenter;
• links to websites of interest
