Western Australia Fuel Incentive Program Faces Technical Rollout Challenges
What happened
The state government initiated a fuel incentive program in Western Australia, allowing applicants to claim a $100 fuel support voucher. On the program's launch day, applicants faced significant technical issues while attempting to claim the payment through the ServiceWA app and associated platforms. The government acknowledged that intermittent issues with the myID system occurred around 11:30 am AEST, which was subsequently resolved.
