Is Perth Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Perth

I’ve lived in Perth for my whole life and very minimal bad things have happened to me here before. Overall i think it’s very safe, minus the very occasional negative experience that is hard to avoid all together no matter where you are.

Perth is a small and safe city mostly centred on suburban and coastal living. Generally people are friendly and easy going, always happy to help. Public transport hubs, streets and city parks are well lit.

I think people are really kind so they will help you if something happens. But it is still a big city. When its dark and there are only men I am worried and afraid if beeing alone. I think bad stuff is happening everywhere so its not about the city. But Perth does have a little wiered vibe to be honest. Anyway, I still like it.

Overall, Perth is generally safe. There are areas where you would want to avoid at night because of colourful people but that isn't special to Perth. Awareness and caution are always important even in the safest cities and Perth is no exception.

Safe city to live and work in. Some great hidden gems not far if have transport to see. Western culture is so very safe, has mixture of other though so experiencing different foods at restaurants all around the city.

Perth is very safe in general but you need to be careful in the night in some areas like Northbridge or Fremantle. Many people partying there. Also I hear these suburs are less safe: balga and Morley

Perth is super safe, there are maybe a couple of places in the CBD and in outer suburbs to be careful of, such as certain translations but everywhere else is super fine. Some places to stay a bit more vigilant are: - Midland - Wanneroo - the area around Royal Perth Hospital/Mciver trainstation - East Perth close to community housing - along the river of Belmont - Fremantle at night

I call a friend when walking home in the dark. I have never been assaulted or followed in Perth. But I do know of friends who have been drugged in clubs. So be aware always but it’s is not a dangerous place.

Perth is a very safe neighbourhood compared to most other places. It is a community built on enjoying peace and with lots of families and young adults making up a large number of the crowds!

Pretty safe place, I feel safe travelling around alone compared to other places. You may have the odd individual on drugs or with clear mental health issues but other then that Perth is relatively safe

Couple travel

I lived in Perth for about 1.5 years and I still regret not traveling around Australia. Perth is very calm and is frequented by many international students. If you like nightlife, Perth might not be for you. There are many daytime activities and during public holidays, but except for the Northbridge area, many places close early in the evening. During the day, I always felt safe; the Aboriginal people, except for the noise they made, are harmless. But at night you have to be careful, it's better not to walk around alone in the evening, especially in less frequented areas. We lived in a car for about 8 months, with about a month spent sleeping in public areas. Besides being illegal, I advise against sleeping in open areas. Only three times did anyone knock on our door, two of which were police 😅 but the third time was quite scary.

Solo travel

Medium safety, had a few men catcall and follow me, especially at night. There was not much to do at all in the city centre, I would recommend going elsewhere such as Fremantle, or buying a van and doing a road trip
