WA Play Charter

Because Play Matters

The WA Play Charter, authored and published by the Play Matters Collective, is a declaration affirming the vital importance of play in children’s lives. It was officially launched in 2021 by the Commissioner for Children and Young People, Mr Colin Pettit, and serves as a public commitment to recognising, protecting, and promoting children’s right to play.
