Perth Education City is Western Australia’s peak industry body for international education and is the first point of contact for anyone wishing to obtain information on studying and living in Perth.

The body originated in 1987 when interested institutions identified a need to meet and discuss issues of common interest in regards to international education. Over time, more institutions expressed an interest in the group and in 1996 a registered association with its own secretariat was launched.

Perth Education City is now strongly supported by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of State Development and the Department of Education Services.

Its member institutions include the State’s five world class universities, plus numerous vocational education providers, primary and secondary schools, and English language colleges – both from the public and private sector.

Ninety-seven per cent of the more than 50,000 international student enrolments are hosted by one of Perth Education City’s member institutions.
