Transport

PIBT is located on ECU's Mt Lawley campus, within easy access of Perth city. Some of our classes are also offered at the Joondalup campus. Transperth operates public transport including buses, trains and ferries, within Perth and it's outlying areas. A free transit zone, with transport on Transperth buses and trains, is available every day on selected routes within the central city area.

The Transperth website is a great resource for transport in Perth including information on timetables, routes, and pricing. Students are also eligible for travel concessions on public transport - student concession application forms for SmartRider cards are given at Orientation.

To get to Mt Lawley campus

As PIBT is close to Perth, students can easily access public transport on ECU's Mt Lawley campus. Buses are available to arrive and depart from the entrance of the university. Students also have the benefit of Transperth's excellent student concession fares. Cycling is also a great way to get to campus and is a great way to explore Perth; there are many bicycle routes around the city and local areas.

From the Wellington St Station (city) you can catch buses 17, 18, 19 (Northern Timetable 71) and 885, 886, 887, 888, 889 (Northern Timetable 76). A bus will leave approximately every 15 minutes at peak times and up to 30 minutes at off-peak (between 9am and 2:30pm and all weekend).

To get to the Joondalup campus

The best way to travel to Joondalup is via the Perth Underground Station (taking the Joondalup line by train). Make sure you get on the train that heads to Clarkson. There is a free CAT bus service (take number 10 or 11) that departs from the train station that takes to you to the Joondalup Education Precinct, where ECU is located.

If you wish to take a bus from Mount Lawley, you will need to take a bus from ECU to the city, and then transfer and take the train.

International and domestic travel

Perth is serviced by most major international airlines through the Perth International Airport, which is located approximately 12km from the city centre. The Domestic airport also connects Perth with other Australian capital and regional cities.

The Indian-Pacific train line runs from Perth to Sydney via Adelaide, and is one of the world's great train journeys. There are also long distance trains to York, Kalgoorlie and Bunbury.

PIBT students arriving in Perth for the first time are welcome to a free airport greeting and transport to their accommodation. To arrange this, the following form needs to be submitted in good time: www.perthstudentaccommodation.com/airport-reception
