| About Perth & Western Australia |
|
One of the first things you'll notice about
Perth and Western Australia (WA) is its multiculturalism, with people
from many different nationalities living in harmony. WA is in the same time zone as many Asian regions and only a short flight from many capital cities in Asia, the sub-continent, and the Gulf States. This makes many students feel closer to home. When you arrive in WA, you will notice the great weather, with blue skies and sunny days, making it possible to live a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle. For many this means more opportunity to enjoy water sports, beaches and barbecues. For others it means an active arts scene. And for most, it means a fantastic way of life with street cafes, restaurants and cuisine from around the world. 
WA is also great value, with work
opportunities and the cost of living being much better than other Australian
cities. Did you know that WA has the strongest economy in Australia with growth rates over 10% and an unemployment rate of only 3%. Also Perth has the highest number of millionaires in Australia and also the highest number of cafes (per capita)! For students interested in working part-time to support their studies, Perth is certainly the number one place to go, and by gaining valuable skills through their studies at TAFEWA, many have ultimately been able to settle in Perth. Perth is WA's rapidly growing capital city. With a population nearing 2 million it has a youthful character that is ideally suited to university life! Fremantle, the port suburb of Perth, is just as colourful with artists, street markets and a lively café society. There is much to explore in WA including famous holiday resorts like Rottnest Island and Monkey Mia where dolphins come every day to play with visitors. There are spectacular outback deserts, with sights that can't be found anywhere else in the world. WA is known as the friendly state... so wherever you travel, there'll be plenty of opportunities for you to practise your English. WA can offer you much to see, much to do... and great value for your student dollar while you're doing it.
