Who was Edith Cowan
Born in 1861 in Glengarry, near Geraldton, Edith
Dircksey Cowan believed education was the key to
growth, change and improvement. Ediths contribution
to the development of Western Australian education
was signicant. She strove to achieve social justice
and campaigned for the rights of women, children and
families, for the poor, the poorly educated and the
elderly. So its tting
that the oldest
education institution
and newest State
university, Edith
Cowan University,
bears her name.

Facts about Perth
Perth, located in Western Australia (WA), is one of Australias most affluent cities. Situated on the banks of the
Swan River, Perth is a beautiful, friendly and safe city packed with boutiques, art galleries, eateries and cafs,
cinemas, nightclubs and music venues.
The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Perth one of
the top 10 most liveable cities in the world for the past ten
years (2004-13).

Perth has a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers
and mild wet winters. It is the sunniest capital city in Australia
with clear blue skies and a pollution-free environment.
There is very little rainfall in summer with most of the
rainfall coming in winter. However, even in winter, Perth
still enjoys plenty of warm sunshine so it is no wonder
West Australians love the outdoors!
GEOGRAPHY
Perth is in the south west region of Western Australia.
The city centre is situated along the banks of the Swan River,
between the Darling Ranges and the Indian Ocean.

English is Australias ocial language. However, because

Living in Perth
PART-TIME WORK
As a student, you always need a bit of extra cash.
If you are on a student visa, you will have the opportunity to
work part-time for up to 40 hours per fortnight while you are
studying, and up to 40 hours per week during semester break.
This allows you to earn some spending money as well as
become an active member of the community and it is also
a great way to improve your English!
There are casual jobs available throughout Perth in the areas
of administration, hospitality, house-keeping/cleaning and
retail. You can expect to earn between $16-20 per hour,
depending on your age and the kind of work you do.
Remember that your rst priority in Perth is your studies.
If you decide to work part-time, start with a few hours a
week until you are able to nd a balance with your studies.
AUSTRALIAS TAXATION SYSTEM
You should obtain a Tax File Number (TFN) if you are going
to work part-time. You may also need a TFN to open a bank
account. Visit www.ato.gov.au for more information. You will
also need to lodge an income tax return, either through a
registered tax agent or by completing it yourself.
MONEY AND BANKING
Only Australian currency can be used in Australia. Your foreign
money can be exchanged at international airports, banks and
major hotels. Travellers cheques are easier to use if they are in
Australian Dollars; however, banks will cash travellers cheques
in almost any currency.
Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are readily available for
withdrawals 24-hours a day. Most stores and supermarkets
also have Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS)
terminals where you can pay directly from your bank account
as well as make cash withdrawals.
The most commonly accepted credit cards in Australia
are MasterCard, Visa, Bankcard, American Express,
Diners International and their aliates. Most businesses
accept credit cards as payment.
OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT
You should open a bank account as soon as you arrive in
Perth. You will need several forms of identication such as
your passport, Student ID card and drivers licence. You may
also need to provide a Tax File Number (TFN).
GETTING AROUND PERTH
Perth, Fremantle and Joondalup city zones have a free bus
service for everyone. And as a full-time international student,
you will receive a 40 per cent discount on all public transport
throughout Western Australia! The city has a modern and
comparably safe network of buses, trains and ferries. You are able
to use any combination of these three services on one ticket.
LIFESTYLE
When you study in Perth, your weekends can be lled with visits
to our many beaches and marinas, lakes and rivers, or national
parks and gardens.
People also enjoy socialising and entertaining friends around
private backyard swimming pools and barbeques.
ELECTRICITY
The normal current is 220-240 volts AC: 50Hz. The three-pin
power outlet is dierent from many countries, including Asia.
We recommend that you look for an Australian adaptor socket.
SUN PROTECTION
The sun is very intense in Perth so hats, sunglasses and
sunscreen are recommended, even on cloudy days. During the
summer months you must take very careful precautions not to
get sunburnt or dehydrated as temperatures can be extreme
and rise above 40 degrees Celsius!

FINANCIAL AID
We are a recognised provider of Higher Education with

We participate in and assist students to apply for student
loan programs oered by their home countries to cover
educational expenses while enrolled as a full-time student
in ECU programs.
ECU participates in programs such as: US Montgomery
GI Bill, US Private Loans, Canadian Provincial Government
Student Assistance Programs and Federal Loan programs
and Norwegian Lanekassen.
In addition, students from many other countries
may be entitled to nancial support from relevant
government agencies.
Please contact ECU via email at [email protected] or
visit www.ecu.edu.au/futurestudents/international/nancial-
assistance/nancial-aid to obtain additional information
about your eligibility.
SCHOOLING OF DEPENDENTS OF ECU STUDENTS
If you intend to bring dependent children to Australia, you
will need to consider specic arrangements for their visas
and schooling. In Australia, it is compulsory for school aged
children (6-17 years of age) to attend school.
Cost
You must enrol your child in either government or
private schools on a fee-paying basis. You are required to
pay the school fees directly to the school prior to your
childs enrolment.
Some school tuition fees are voluntary in Primary Schools,
and in Lower Secondary/Secondary Schools the fees vary
according to individual subject selection. Optional courses
of study and excursions will attract additional costs. You will
also be required to pay for your childs school uniforms and
school books.
English as a Second language
If your child is enrolled in a public or private school and
requires either English as a Second Language or learning
diculty/disability support, you will need to pay for these
additional expenses. Neither ECU nor Education and Training
International will cover these fees. These fees can be $2000
or more, per child/per year.
These costs will vary and may involve your child moving to a
school, specically designed to provide the required support.
We recommend that your child commences English language
training prior to arriving in Perth.
15
At ECU we are committed to the internationalisation
of education, which enables students and sta to be
recognised as globally-aware citizens.
We encourage our students and sta to undertake learning,
teaching and research in ways that embrace global and
intercultural perspectives.
We have a variety of overseas study opportunities including
exchange programs, short-term programs, group study tours
and work and clinical placements. The amount of time you
spend overseas could be as little as two weeks or as much
as two semesters.
Overseas study gives you the opportunity to travel while
gaining credit towards your degree; it widens your horizons
intellectually, culturally and socially; it provides plenty of
opportunities for personal growth; and improves your
employment options. It looks great on your rsum, which
may give you a competitive edge when you are ready to
enter the work force!
We have around 90 exchange partners in 35 countries
around the world. We run more than 10 study tours overseas
and send more than 200 students abroad every year as part
of their ECU degree. So you could be visiting a remote village
in India, cycling the streets of Amsterdam, walking along the
Great Wall of China, wandering around galleries in Paris or
getting into some great sushi in Osaka.
