Perth has one of the most diverse climates in Australia. From the tropical north to the temperate south,

observed while in the north there are just two: the Wet season from October to March and the dry one
from April to September.
Western Australia is one third of the whole Australian continent. It has a population of approximately
2.1 million which represents one tenth of Australia’s total population. Its population is among the most
diverse in the world. 16% of Western Australia’s population speak a language other than English at
home, with the main languages spoken being Italian, dialects of Chinese, Vietnamese, German and
Australian Indigenous languages.
The capital city of Western Australia ; Perth, is home to 1.6 million people and enjoys more hours of
sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. Perth’s lifestyle is "simple life" with a number of inner
city parks adding to the relaxed, nature-based feel. The central business district is just seven kilometres
from the sea and is perched on the banks of the majestic Swan River and nestled beneath the city’s
400 hectare botanical showcase, Kings Park. Housing in Perth is the cheapest of all Australia’s
mainland capitals. However, the year 2006 saw the big boom for the Perth housing industry. Rental
accommodation is readily available and competitively priced.
The southern regions of Western Australia are major producers of mineral sands, timber, and
agricultural products while the northern regions account for most of Western Australia’s mineral, oil and
gas output, nearly half the beef industry, cultured pearl production and a developing aquaculture
industry.
Western Australia is currently experiencing sustained economic growth. Driven largely by an expanding
minerals and petroleum sector, this is creating many exciting opportunities across the State.
Western Australia is the nation’s premier export State, generating 32 per cent of Australia’s total goods
and services exports. Industry is dominated by the production of basic metal, chemical, petroleum and
coal products, processed foods and beverages and mining equipment. The services sector, which
accounts for about 72 per cent of the State’s economic activity, is also highly competitive in the areas of
education, health and biotechnology, building and construction, information technology and engineering.
Western Australia needs to attract people with the skills necessary to sustain its high growth rates and
significant investments. The Western Australian Government has established the Skills Migration
Program to give prospective migrants better information about the opportunities that exist in the State
and to provide assistance in helping skilled people make Western Australia their home.
The Department of Industry and Resources, the State’s lead economic development agency, has
established a Skills Migration Unit (SMU). The SMU will also use its network of ten international trade
and investment offices and work closely with the nine regional development commissions in order that
all necessary information and assistance is provided to skilled migrants.
The Western Australian Government sponsors two visa schemes: the Skilled Independent Regional
visa and the State/Territory Nominated Independent and Skill Matching (SM) visas. These schemes
make it possible for people to live and work in regional areas where there is a shortage of skills. The
Skilled Independent Regional (SIR) visa scheme provides eligible skilled migrants with a temporary visa
to look for employment and explore lifestyle opportunities. The State/Territory Nominated Independent
(STNI) visa and Skill Matching (SM) visa schemes encourage skilled migrants to settle in regions of
Western Australia where their skills are in demand. These visas provide permanent residency.
