Native title may be made in any Australian jurisdiction, using State or Commonwealth laws. In Western Australia there is no State native title legislation, so native title claims are lodged as "native title determination applications" under the Native Title Act 1993 in the Western Australian Division of the Federal Court of Australia.

Western Australia is divided into six regions, each with its own Native Title Representative Body. They are:

Note that not all native title determination applications are made through the area's Representative Body. Some groups prefer to use independent legal advisors to manage their claims.

Claims made in the State of Western Australia are listed below grouped by their Native Title Representative Body Area and aphabetically by the claim's short name.

Central Desert
Repesentative Body: Central Desert Native Title Services

Kimberley
Repesentative Body: Kimberley Land Council Aboriginal Corporation.

Note that a large number of small claims in the Kimberley region were filed in the late 1990s and later withdrawn. Where a claim was filed under an individual's name in 1999 or earlier and later withdrawn or discontinued, it has not been included here. Those claims can be viewed by searching applications on the National Native Title Tribunal's register.

Pilbara
Repesentative Body: Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation
