Who Was EdITh coWaN? 

coNTENTs 

Born in 1861 in Glengarry, near Geraldton, 

Edith Dircksey Cowan believed education was 

the key to growth, change and improvement. 

Edith’s contribution to the development of 

Western Australian education was significant. 

She strove to achieve social justice and 

campaigned for the rights of women, children 

and families, for the poor, the poorly educated 

and the elderly. So it is fitting that the oldest 

education institution and newest State university, 

Edith Cowan University, bears her name. 

Life is full of journeys: From childhood to adulthood. School 

to uni. Starting your first job to advancing your career. All of 

these journeys require a clear path to help ensure they go in 

the direction you want them to go. 

So, when we say the road is open at ECU, we are reflecting 

our commitment to ensuring that the obstacles and barriers 

that sometimes get in the way, can be effectively managed 

and overcome. 

Your journey is unique. It reflects your personal hopes and 

aspirations. Because the road is open at ECU, we can help you 

realise your ambitions and reach your destination, wherever 

that may be.

Perth, located in Western Australia (WA), is one of 

Australia’s most affluent cities. Situated on the banks of 

the Swan River, Perth is a beautiful, friendly and safe city 

packed with boutiques, art galleries, eateries and cafés, 

cinemas, nightclubs and music venues. 

The Economist Intelligence Unit has rated Perth one of 

the top 10 most liveable cities in the world for the past 

eight years (2004-11). 

AirpOrT 

Perth Airport is approximately 18km from the city centre; 

there are 13 international, four domestic and 10 regional 

airlines that operate at Perth Airport – connecting you to 

over 50 destinations around Australia and overseas. 

CUrreNCy 

The Australian Dollar ($) comes in denominations of 

$100, $50, $20, $10 and $5 notes, and $2, $1, 50¢, 

20¢, 10¢ and 5¢ coins. 

ClimATe 

Perth has a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers 

and mild wet winters. It is the sunniest capital city in 

Australia with clear blue skies and a pollution-free 

environment. 

There is very little rainfall in summer with most of the 

rainfall coming in winter. However, even in winter, Perth 

still enjoys plenty of warm sunshine so it is no wonder 

why West Australians love the outdoors! 

Perth has four distinct seasons: 

perTh 

eleCTriCiTy 

The normal current is 220-240 volts AC: 50Hz. 

The three-pin power outlet is different from many 

countries, including Asia. We recommend that you 

look for an Australian adaptor socket. 

GeOGrAphy 

Perth is in the south west region of Western Australia. 

The city centre is situated along the banks of the Swan 

River, between the Darling Ranges and the Indian Ocean. 

SUN prOTeCTiON 

The sun is very intense in Perth so hats, sunglasses and 

sunscreen are recommended, even on cloudy days. During 

the summer months you must take very careful precautions 

not to get sunburnt or dehydrated as temperatures can be 

extreme and rise above 40 degrees celsius! 

lANGUAGeS 

English is Australia’s official language. However, because of 

the European and Asian immigrant population, there is a 

wide range of other languages being spoken such as Arabic, 

Chinese, Greek, Italian, Malay and Vietnamese.

lIVING IN pERTh 

pArT-Time wOrk 

As a student, you always need a bit of extra cash. 

If you are on a student visa, you will have the opportunity to work 

part-time for up to 20 hours per week while you are studying, 

and up to 40 hours per week during semester break. 

This allows you to earn some spending money as well as become 

an active member of the community. And if you are not a native 

speaker – it is also a great way to improve your English! 

There are casual jobs available throughout Perth in the areas of 

administration, hospitality, house-keeping/cleaning and retail. 

You can expect to earn between $6-20 per hour, depending on 

your age and the kind of work you do. 

Remember that your first priority in Perth is your studies. If you 

decide to work part-time, start with a few hours a week until you 

are able to find a balance with your studies. 

AUSTrAliA’S TAxATiON SySTem 

You should obtain a Tax File Number (TFN) if you are going 

to work part-time. You may also need a TFN to open a bank 

account. Visit www.ato.gov.au for more information. 

You will also need to lodge an income tax return, either through 

a registered tax agent or by completing it yourself. 

mONey ANd bANkiNG 

Only Australian currency can be used in Australia. Your foreign 

money can be exchanged at international airports, banks and 

major hotels. Travellers’ cheques are easier to use if they are in 

Australian Dollars; however, banks will cash travellers’ cheques in 

almost any currency. 

Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are readily available for 

withdrawals 24 hours a day. Most stores and supermarkets 

also have Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS) 

terminals where you can pay directly from your bank account as 

well as make cash withdrawals. 

The most commonly accepted credit cards in Australia are 

MasterCard, Visa, Bankcard, American Express, Diners International

If you intend to bring dependent children to Australia, you 

will need to consider specific arrangements for their visas 

and schooling. In Australia, it is compulsory for school aged 

children (6-17 years of age) to attend school. 

Cost 

If you are studying an Undergraduate Course or a Graduate 

Diploma, you must enrol your child in either government 

or private schools on a fee-paying basis. You are required 

to pay the school fees directly to the school prior to your 

child’s enrolment. 

Some school tuition fees are voluntary in Primary Schools, 

and in Lower Secondary/Secondary Schools the fees vary 

according to individual subject selection. Optional courses 

of study and excursions will attract additional costs. You will 

also be required to pay for your child’s school uniforms and 

school books. 

English as a Second language 

If your child is enrolled in a public or private school and 

requires either English as a Second Language or learning 

difficulty/disability support, you will need to pay for these 

additional expenses. Neither ECU nor Education and 

Training International will cover these fees. These fees can 

be $2000 or more, per child/per year. 

These costs will vary and may involve your child moving 

to a school, specifically designed to provide the required 

support. We recommend that your child commences 

English language training prior to arriving in Perth.

of access. If you live in Mandurah, or along the line, all you 

need to do is jump on the train and you’ll be in Joondalup 

in just over an hour. Buses run frequently between ECU 

Mount Lawley and Perth Central Business District daily, 

and there are also direct bus services to many bus stations 

in the surrounding suburbs. A number of bus routes travel 

past our South West campus in Bunbury, and a few end 

at the Bunbury Health Campus, which is just a short walk

Starting university is one of the most exciting 

adventures you will ever experience! It marks the 

beginning of a new journey towards your future 

career and opens up a fascinating new phase of 

your life. No two students’ experience of university 

and campus life is the same, but here is some 

information and pointers to assist in making your 

time at ECu enjoyable and successful. 

University requires a different way of thinking and 

learning than what you probably experienced in high 

school. Prepare yourself for a learning environment 

where you are independent and studying the subjects 

you want to study. You will manage your timetable 

with no school bells, no uniforms and the freedom to 

tailor the support we offer to your specific needs. 

whAT CAN yOU expeCT 

frOm eCU 

New COmmUNiTy 

We have over 27,000 students studying across our 

three campuses and online. Aside from studying with 

people who have similar interests and ambitions, you 

will interact with people from a range of different 

countries and cultures. 

freedOm TO ChOOSe 

Flexible study options allow you to have the freedom 

to choose your course, in many cases your majors 

and electives. 

SpACe TO STUdy 

Forget cramped classrooms. You will find great study 

spaces and facilities all over our campuses, including 

libraries with cafés, fully-equipped computer labs and 

shaded outdoor grassed areas and tables. 

beiNG CONNeCTed 

Our students have access to 24-hour on-campus 

computing facilities, enabling you to carry out study 

or research at a time that is convenient to you. The 

labs at the Joondalup and Mount Lawley campuses 

cater for PC and Mac users and all computers are 

fully loaded with the latest software. ECU South 

West’s computer lab features PCs and work 

spaces for laptops, as well as wireless and ethernet 

options. With access to the latest and best wireless 

technology, our students can study online anywhere 

and anytime on our campuses.

New wAyS Of leArNiNG 

We encourage you to find a way of learning that suits you. 

Most students have one lecture or seminar per week per unit, 

lasting from 1-3 hours, and each unit usually has a tutorial 

for 1-2 hours. It will be up to you to develop a timetable that 

balances your requirements, however, our staff are always 

available to provide assistance. You can gain advice on how to 

develop your study skills and meet the demands of assessments, 

plus our Learning Advisers also conduct workshops and see 

students one-on-one and in-group consultations. 

help wiTh CAreerS 

Specialist ECU staff are available to help you establish a career 

pathway and also provide help to find a part-time job while 

you study. Visit www.ecu.edu.au/careers to obtain 24-hour 

access to online career searches of employers currently seeking 

ECU students. 

hOw TO GeT The mOST OUT Of UNi life 

meeT New peOple 

The best way to start meeting people is through attending 

Orientation. This usually commences two weeks prior to the start 

of classes during semesters one and two. You can undertake a 

range of activities that will give you the skills to assist in adapting 

to uni life, as well as help you become familiar with your course, 

teaching staff and the support services available. 

fiNdiNG yOUr wAy 

Don’t be overwhelmed by the size of our campuses. Attending 

Orientation is an ideal way for you to learn how to navigate your 

way around campus, while our dedicated Student Central Offices 

are the starting point for all queries and campus maps. 

GeT iNvOlved 

There are a large variety of clubs, societies, sporting activities 

and support groups where you can meet people who share 

common interests. Or, you can just take in the vibrant campus 

culture by relaxing at one of our cafés, attending an exhibition or 

performance, or seeing a film at the Joondalup Pines during the 

Lotterywest Festival Films season.

INTERNaTIoNal oppoRTuNITIEs 

At ECu we are committed to the internationalisation of 

education, which enables students and staff to be recognised as 

globally-aware citizens. 

We encourage our students and staff to undertake learning, 

teaching and research in ways that embrace global and 

intercultural perspectives. 

We have a dedicated Student Mobility Team to facilitate the 

development of your skills internationally while studying at ECU 

through a variety of overseas study opportunities including 

exchange programs, short-term programs, group study tours 

and work and clinical placements. The amount of time you 

spend overseas could be as little as two weeks or as much as 

two semesters. 

Overseas study gives you the opportunity to travel while gaining 

credit towards your degree; it widens your horizons intellectually, 

culturally and socially; it provides plenty of opportunities for 

personal growth; and improves your employment options. It looks 

great on your résumé, which may give you a competitive edge 

when you are ready to enter the work force! 

We have around 90 exchange partners in 35 countries around 

the world. We run more than 10 study tours overseas and send 

more than 200 students abroad every year as part of their ECU 

degree. So you could be visiting a remote village in India, cycling 

the streets of Amsterdam, walking along the Great Wall of China, 

wandering around galleries in Paris or getting into some great 

sushi in Osaka.
