We are a volunteer run not-for-profit committed to supporting the growth and sustainability of WA’s games industry.

As the peak body for the Games Industry in Western Australia we are dedicated to raising the profile of local developers through education, advocacy, and community engagement. We provide feedback to government and industry stakeholders based on our communities needs, as it grows and adapts to a rapidly changing industry. Our activities also include organising events, workshops, and forums to foster industry development and collaboration within the gaming community.

  • Promoting Local Talent And Products

    We're at the forefront of highlighting the region's expertise and achievements in gaming. Our goal is to showcase the remarkable capabilities of Western Australia as a significant player in the games world.

  • Elevating Western Australia's Games Industry

    We believe in the power of collaboration and community. Our initiatives in networking, knowledge exchange, mentorship, and cross sector partnerships are designed to sustain and strengthen the gaming industry in Western Australia.

  • Strengthening The Industry's Foundations

    Our aim is to make Western Australia a central hub for game development in Australia. We actively promote games developed in WA, highlighting the value and creativity of our local developers.

About

Originally formed in 2009 as a group for local game developers to connect and share their passion for games under the name Let’s Make Games (LMG), it became incorporated as a non-profit association in 2011. After more than 14 years of uniting the WA games industry with community-focused events, the association is en route to becoming bigger and better than ever under new leadership and a new name.

The WA Games Industry Council is Western Australia’s representative body for video game developers and people in the games and game-adjacent industries. Supporting local game studios and developers while informing institutional and government decisions affecting the industry, WAGIC represents a vital part of a global industry that has grown steadily over the last decades.
