From January 1st, 2025, the Western Australian State government requires all short-term rental properties to be registered and all bookings to be reported to the WA government.
Overview
All short-term rental properties in Western Australia must be registered with the state government
All bookings must be reported monthly, including Direct bookings
Reports must be submitted by the 5th of each month for the previous month's bookings
Hospitable Support for the WA STR Register
We are actively working with the Western Australian government to develop an automated solution for Direct hosts. Our goal is to:
Automatically report your direct bookings to the register
Eliminate the need for manual data entry
Help ensure compliance with the new requirements
We are currently in the early development phase of this integration.
Current Requirements
Until any automated solution is available, hosts should:
Register their properties through the Western Australian government portal
Manually report all bookings through the government's system
Ensure reports are submitted by the monthly deadline
Stay Updated
We will update this article as more information becomes available.
If you have any questions about the WA STR Register requirements, please contact the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
