Getting there
Public transport
UWA is served by regular Transperth buses. Useful options include:
- Route 950: connects Perth city with UWA via Mounts Bay Road.
- Purple CAT: a free bus connecting Elizabeth Quay Bus Station, QEII Medical Centre and UWA, with stops along Hackett Drive.
- Route 97: connects Subiaco Station with UWA on weekdays, including stops on Fairway and Hackett Drive.
Use the Transperth JourneyPlanner to plan your journey to your conference building. See UWA’s public transport guide and the CAT timetables for further details.
From Perth Airport
The Airport Line connects the airport with Perth city. For Terminals 1 and 2, use Airport Central Station; for Terminals 3 and 4, take bus 292 to Redcliffe Station. Continue by train and a connecting bus to UWA, using JourneyPlanner for the best connection. See Transperth’s guide for visitors.
Taxis and rideshare services are another option. Specify your destination building rather than just the University’s street address: the campus has several entrances. Fairway is convenient for EZONE; Hackett Drive is convenient for the Octagon and Social Sciences.
Driving and parking
Visitor parking is available in designated yellow bays, subject to availability and local signage. Paid parking operates Monday to Friday, 8 am–5 pm. UWA uses EasyPark; check the zone displayed on the sign where you park.
Please consult UWA’s current visitor parking information for payment options, restrictions, accessible parking and parking maps.
Walking and cycling
The campus is accessible on foot and by bicycle, including from the Swan River foreshore. See UWA’s cycling information for bicycle parking and facilities.
