Perth is one of Australia’s most multicultural cities. People from more than 200 countries live here, and 32 per cent of the population was born overseas. Between them, they speak 240 languages and dialects, including Aboriginal languages, and follow more than 100 religions.

StudyPerth says Perth has a lower cost of living than the other major Australian cities, and a wide range of jobs for students. The Western Australian Government also offers scholarships and other financial support to help international students settle in.

Perth regularly ranks among the world’s twenty most liveable cities. It has sunshine most of the year, beaches close to the city, and the rest of the state to explore, from the South West’s forests and wineries to Ningaloo Reef and the Kimberley.
