Western Australia is a state and, as such, is not headed by a Prime minister, so it cannot have a deputy Prime minister. The Prime Minister heads the federal government of the whole country of Australia. In 2012, the Deputy Prime minister of Australia is Wayne Swan.

The leader of government in Western Australia is the Premier. In 2012, the Premier of Western Australia is Colin Barnett, while the Deputy Premier is Dr Kim Hames.
