The University of Western Australia

At The University of Western Australia, we believe your living experience plays a vital role in your academic journey. That’s why Student Living is here to guide and support you in finding the right place to live—whether you're studying at Crawley, Albany, or one of our regional campuses.

We offer a diverse range of accommodation options to suit different needs, preferences, and budgets—whether you’re a domestic or international student, undergraduate or postgraduate, arriving solo or with family. From residential colleges and university-managed housing to trusted off-campus partners, Student Living is your central source of information and support.

The rental market in Perth is competitive for both local and international residents. UWA has limited suitable accommodation options for students or staff arriving with families. It is therefore strongly recommended that you arrange accommodation before arriving in Perth and commencing at UWA.

It is advised to book temporary accommodation for at least one month upon arrival while you search for longer-term housing.

Living at UWA offers more than just a place to stay - it's truly life-changing. Feel safe, supported and empowered as you discover new perspectives, make lifelong connections, and immerse yourself in lively social events.

Practical perks are in place, like cleaning, onsite laundry facilities and meals, to help you perfectly balance study and fun while living close to UWA. Every day here is an opportunity to grow and create unforgettable memories.
