Relocating to Perth from overseas or even the Eastern States to take up a new job can seem like a big move - after all, Perth is the most isolated capital in the world. And when you have kids in tow as well, the excitement can easily become tinged with anxiety.

But ask any family living in Perth where they would rather live, and there’s en extremely high chance they’ll tell you - right here! This is a perfect place for kids to grow up.

With endless ribbons of uncrowded white sand beaches, acres of parkland in and around the city, and the walk and cycleways that meander along the banks of the Swan River, there’s rarely a need to leave the metro area. When you do, the ideal destination for family holidays is Rottnest Island, just a half-hour ferry ride away - traffic-free with calm bays and clear waters for swimming and snorkelling.
But don’t just take it from us, visit this forum to interact with people who have moved or live here with children, and gain some honest insights.

We also recommend you check this blog and this site to keep up with events that have “kid appeal”.

And you can access information on government schools here and non-government schools here.
