The WAFamilyFirst.com Party is a political party in Australia, and a Western Australian state division of the federal Family First Party.

WAFamilyFirst.com Party was launched in June 2008. It began when sitting MP and former Liberal Party member Dan Sullivan joined as an executive member of the Western Australian State Branch of Family First, giving it official status as a Parliamentary Party. When three former One Nation MPs, attended the public launch it fuelled media speculation that they may try and influence the new party.cite news |title=Fischer throws weight behind Family First in WA |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/06/22/2281987.htm |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2008-06-22 |accessdate=2008-06-23 ] .cite news |title=Sullivan to lead Family First |url=http://au.news.yahoo.com/080620/21/17db8.html |publisher=Yahoo!7 |date=2008-06-20 |accessdate=2008-06-25 ] Only one other candidate was announced at the launch, Trona Young, City of Joondalup Councillor and ex Liberal candidate for the Central Kimberley-Pilbara seat in the 2005 state election.cite news |title=2005 West Australian Election.
