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
Posted: January 16, 2025I 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.
Posted: January 13, 2025Perth 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!
Posted: January 12, 2025Pretty 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

I feel like Perth is a pretty relaxed and qualm city. Every street is busy, also at night, so you’re never alone. Stay away of places you feel unsafe, maybe don’t be by yourself and you’ll be fine :)

I find Perth extremely safe, haven’t ever had a problem in terms of safety. Different areas are probably higher risk though. You probably have a higher risk in Northbridge on a Saturday night but in saying that, I’ve never felt uneasy when I’ve gone for a night out there.
Posted: December 26, 2024It’s a very chill, safe city. Popular for families to raise their children here. It’s safe to travel on your own in the day. After dark, just naturally be travel conscious/more wary in outer suburbs, and central districts.
Posted: December 26, 2024Perth is a safe city like almost all Australia. I think that you can easy walk on the streets even in night time without any problem at all and the people around are nice and helpful in case something happen. Police is everywere and ready to help in case of needs.

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

Heya! My name is Rahel, I’m an easygoing and curious traveler from northern Italy. I recently spent a year in Australia on a working holiday visa, exploring its beautiful landscapes and meeting incredible people. Now, I’m continuing my journey in Japan for a month (or maybe longer!) before returning home. I studied arts and have a deep appreciation for any form of creative expression and nature. I love immersing myself in the world around me and I can’t wait to see more! As a guest, I’m respectful, tidy, and always grateful for the hospitality I receive. I enjoy meaningful conversations but also understand the importance of personal space. I’m excited about meeting new people along the way and embracing this wonderful journey!! Xx 🌷🌞🌷🌞
