<h2>The governing body of Vinnies in Western Australia is its State Council</h2>
A number of the members of State Council are elected by their peers in each of the regional Conferences in WA. State Council members are elected for a four-year term with elections held when terms expire or when a vacancy occurs.
The State President appoints Vice Presidents and Appointed Officers to complement the skills and experience of the elected State Council members, and a number of Advisory Committees support the State Council in carrying out its responsibilities and functions.
