A new year means it's time for members across Western Australia to start thinking about their protection requirements for 2025/26.

LGIS Account Managers will be visiting members from January through to April to discuss changes within their local government, the issues they face and how we can help.

2025/26 Declarations will be available in early February with completed declaration due in mid-March. Please set aside some time in your diary to complete this important task.

Members should take note of the following to prepare for 2025/26 renewal declarations:

• Release date: Declarations will be available in early February with completed declaration due in mid-March. Please set aside some time in your diary to complete this important task.
• Asset registers: Have you acquired, or will you acquire, new assets, plant, machinery, fleet or equipment in the past or next 12 months? Now is the time to update your asset and motor registers. Login in and the click this link to check the 2025/26 Asset Guide for more information.
• Valuations: Have your assets been valued recently? Inflation continues to impact on repair and replacement value for many assets, so make sure that your values are accurate and that you have not undervalued your assets and equipment.
• Your access: Make sure your access is current. If you've previously completed declarations for your local government, make sure that you can still log into the LGIS website (www.lgiswa.com.au) to confirm currency. If you will be completing declarations for the first time or have trouble logging on, contact your account manager.
• Additional users: If you would like to add  users for the IRIS declaration platform, please let your account manager know as soon as possible so that a profile can be created in the system for them.
• Renewal site: Make sure that you whitelist the renewal website address when you receive your activation email so that you can access it.

Easier declarations

We know that there's a lot of questions and it's takes some time to completely review and accurately complete the membership declaration.

To make the process a bit easier You will be able to review your answers from last year and, if there are no changes from last year, automatically enter it for this year's declaration. Although convenient it's important that all this information is verified before it's entered.

Your account manager is also available to answer any question you may have.
