Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Interests

Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Interests is a position in the government of Western Australia, currently held by Paul Papalia of the Labor Party. The position was first created in 1924, under the name Minister for Immigration, for the first ministry formed by Philip Collier. With the exception of some of the governments of the 1940s and 1950s, it has existed in every government since then. The minister is currently responsible for the state government's Office of Multicultural Interests, which falls within the Department of Local Government and Communities.

Not to be confused with Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, a position in Federal Government of Australia.
