Wanneroo: check storage before applying
A 2 TB drive falls below the scheme’s 3 TB minimum. Cameras must also be hard-wired, at least 5 MP, night-capable and show the date and time.
Ask for a suitable storage upgrade, public-facing camera plan and full specification check. Obtain council pre-approval before installation.

Camera count, image quality and recording settings affect how much footage a drive retains. Ask us to assess the recording period and document the proposed equipment in your quote.
Check your card, household and purchase before relying on the state rebate. Age alone does not establish eligibility.
Hold a valid WA Seniors Card when purchasing.
Use an eligible WA principal residence matching your card records.

What to check
CCTV and home alarms
Minimum qualifying purchase or installation value $200. Up to $400 overall per household. Contractor work requires the relevant Security Agent and Security Installer licences.
Video doorbells
Minimum qualifying value $100; product cap $200 per doorbell, within the household limit. Itemise installation separately and confirm its assessment.
Intercoms and access control
General intercoms and standalone access control are not expressly listed. Ask the administrator about the exact model; a video intercom is not automatically a video doorbell.
Check before committing.Confirm household eligibility, the exact equipment and current funding. Obtain any council pre-approval and property permissions first.
Request an itemised quote.Ask West Protect to identify equipment, installation costs and required licence details.
Install, pay and keep evidence.Retain paid tax receipts and the documents required by your scheme. A quote or unpaid invoice is not payment evidence.

Send card numbers, identity and bank documents only through the official application process. Seniors Card assistance: 1800 671 233.
Can two programs be used together?
The state seniors terms permit council applications, but the council’s rules also apply. Never add advertised maximums together or deduct an assumed rebate from your installation price.
Wanneroo and Victoria Park: their published information allows a separate eligible state rebate application. Each scheme still assesses its own claim.
South Perth and Bassendean: restrictions apply to state-scheme participants or WA Seniors Card holders. Check the council entry above before proceeding.
Other councils and business funding: confirm permission with each administrator and disclose other assistance before relying on combined support.
Follow each program’s order of steps. For Wanneroo, obtain pre-approval, install within 60 days and provide the required evidence within 14 days of installation.
Common rebate questions
Can renters apply?
Some programs accept tenants with the owner’s written permission. Check your scheme and obtain any landlord or strata approval before buying or installing.
What if my household already claimed?
The current seniors scheme allows one claim per eligible household, including a partner’s claim. You cannot top up a claim below $400 later. A claim under the earlier 2009–2015 scheme does not, by itself, prevent a claim under the current scheme.
Are ongoing fees included?
The seniors rebate excludes monitoring, cloud storage and recurring subscriptions. Keep these separate from equipment, installation and eligible repairs on your quote.
Can an upgrade qualify?
It depends on the program. Some include upgrades; Wanneroo covers qualifying new installations, and Canning excludes improvements, repairs and additions to existing devices. Check the exact work before relying on a rebate.
Does a West Protect enquiry apply for me?
No. We can quote the proposed installation and discuss equipment requirements. You apply through the official government or council process, which assesses and pays any approved claim.
