Perth Education City Report -Opportunities

• WA hosts 7.8% of Australia’s international students - In 2003 hosted

11%, the same as WA’s national population share (our benchmark).

• Perth in the same time zone as 60% of the World’s population (key

student markets)

Perth Education City Report Strategic Potential - Economic Impact• An international student = $77,000 p.a. to the WA State economy.

Each 1% increase in the number of students choosing WA (6,000)

could equate to $462 million p.a. to the State economy.

•Returning to 11% would require an additional 22,000+ students; potentially worth $1.7 billion!

Expenditure per student
