Graduates of UWA are highly regarded and employed throughout the world in a wide range of disciplines. Currie Hall is central to many of Perth's popular destinations, being less than 10 minutes drive from the centre of Perth in one direction and our beautiful beaches in the other. We are on bus routes to downtown Perth, Cottesloe beach, Subiaco and Claremont's trendy boutiques, cafes and nightlife, and the Port City of Fremantle. The Hall is set in spacious and elegant grounds on the edge of King's Park, with the famous Swan River and all the delights of Matilda Bay only a stroll away. It is situated directly opposite the main entrance to UWA. A well-lit pedestrian underpass (under Mounts Bay Road and Stirling Highway) links the Hall to the main university campus. Currie Hall is owned and operated by the University and is non-denominational. In addition to a great lifestyle and strong academic and pastoral support, Currie Hall also enables and facilitates "networking for the future" through an active and vibrant social programme.

Our residents are encouraged to establish both professional links within their areas of expertise and personal friendships that they will take with them into their working lives in what is now a global marketplace.

Living in the Hall not only improves academic performance, but also provides immediate social and sporting contacts throughout the University.
