Free WiFi zones

In 2007, ResourceNet was launched – Australia’s first Wi-Fi internet network which is free for everyone 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

Known as the “Resources Quarter”, the area includes St Georges Terrace, and Hay and Murray Streets west from William Street, up to the Barracks Arch near Parliament House.

So whether you need to research online for your studies, or are looking for a place to have a coffee whilst catching up with family and friends back home - you can connect to the Internet without any cost to you, at any time, day or night.

Free Wi-Fi spots are also available outside of the city centre, such as the main streets of Subiaco, Leederville and Mt Lawley. Fremantle café strip has free Wi-Fi along South Terrace, from Gino’s Café to the Capri Restaurant.

If you do not own a laptop, there are plenty of internet cafés located mostly around Perth’s city centre and Northbridge.
