Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 953 asked in the Legislative Council on 11 November 2021 by Hon Dr Brian Walker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — VACCINATIONS — TEXT MESSAGING

953. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to reports earlier this month that the Queensland government was planning to send residents in some of the state's lowest vaccination areas geographically targeted text messages urging those in specific suburbs to get vaccinated. Does the McGowan government have any plans to do likewise here in WA; and, if not, why not?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

Yes, text messaging has been and will continue to be used to engage with targeted cohorts who have registered with VaccinateWA.
