Western Australia

Western Australia (WA) consistently ranks as one of the most popular locations in the world for quality of life which makes it a popular destination for migrants. It is the unique blend of a safe, secure way of life and a clean spacious environment combined with economic living costs that makes Western Australia a highly attractive location.

Western Australia has outstanding education and recreational facilities and excellent health and transport services. The world-class cultural facilities and theatres of the capital city, Perth, are home to the state’s nationally acclaimed symphony orchestra and ballet, modern dance, opera and theatre companies. Sports and leisure facilities are first class and with more hours of sunshine than any other Australian capital city, there is plenty of time to enjoy outdoor activities.

Perth is just a small part of the vast state. You would cover more than 2400km if you travelled the state from north to south and you would see the countryside change from the red rugged terrain of the north to the cool green forests of the south-west.

Around 30% of the state’s population was born overseas, and this multicultural mix is reflected by its diversity, heritage and social harmony. Taken together, all these qualities make Western Australia a great place to live and work.
