Money – and it could be yours.</strong></p> <p>WA residents Western Australians have been encouraged to head to the State Treasury website or use the ServiceWA app to check if they have money that can be returned to them.</p> <p>The unclaimed monies relate to WA-based organisations that have been unsuccessful in returning funds to the rightful owners, and typically relate to:</p> <ul> <li>dividend payments</li> <li>rental bond refunds</li> <li>vehicle licence refunds</li> <li>overpayment of utility bills</li> <li>refunds from education providers</li> </ul> <p>“The WA Register of Unclaimed Money continues to grow, and there would be many<br /> Western Australians who wouldn’t be aware of outstanding money owed to them,” Treasurer Rita Saffioti said.</p> <p>“It’s very easy to check the register online or via the ServiceWA app, so I encourage all Western Australians to take these simple steps and check if they’re entitled to any of the funds.”</p> <p>The register has recently been updated with around 147,000 new records, including large individual unclaimed amounts of around $185,000 and $165,000.</p> <p>The full register now contains more than 1.2 million records totalling over $170 million.</p> <p>To search the register, visit <a href="http://www.wa.gov.au/treasury/unclaimed-money">http://www.wa.gov.au/treasury/unclaimed-money</a> or use the ServiceWA app.</p>
