Situated on the banks of the vast and tranquil Swan and Canning Rivers, Perth and its suburbs are a delight for residents and visitors alike. PERTH has a population of 1.38 million and is renowned for its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate and magnificent beaches stretching from Fremantle in the south to Yanchep in the north.

Sophisticated, uncomplicated, relaxing, bright and cosmopolitan are just some of the words used to describe the Perth and Western Australian lifestyle. Perth is a modern city, free from traffic jams, pollution and crowds, yet rich in culture, fine arts and cultural diversity.

Direct flights link Perth with many South East Asian and Middle East destinations, and there is a wide range of inexpensive, quality accommodation for patients' families. Western Australia is also internationally recognised for some of its magnificent holiday destinations, including Rottnest Island, the Margaret River tourist region and the spectacular Ningaloo reef.
