Perth's Language Landscape

Perth is Western Australia's capital and despite its geographic isolation, its cultural diversity rivals the eastern seaboard. The ABS Census 2021 recorded over 490,000 Greater Perth residents speaking a language other than English at home — approximately 23% of the population. Perth's unique position, closer to Jakarta than to Sydney, gives it particularly strong linguistic ties to South-East Asia alongside traditional Southern European and more recent South Asian communities.

The most widely spoken languages other than English in Perth include:

• Mandarin — 52,000+ speakers, concentrated in the CBD, Rivervale, Cannington, and Canning Vale
• Vietnamese — 23,000+ speakers, primarily in Girrawheen, Westminster, Balga, and Mirrabooka
• Italian — 22,000+ speakers, established communities in Fremantle, Balcatta, and Osborne Park
• Cantonese — 18,000+ speakers, in the CBD, Northbridge, and south-eastern suburbs
• Filipino/Tagalog — 16,000+ speakers, widespread across metropolitan Perth
• Hindi — 15,000+ speakers, growing communities in Canning Vale, Harrisdale, and southern suburbs
• Arabic — 13,000+ speakers, in Mirrabooka, Balga, and northern corridor suburbs
• Indonesian/Malay — 12,000+ speakers, reflecting Perth's proximity to Indonesia

Perth also has significant communities speaking Afrikaans, Burmese, Karen, Persian/Farsi, Tamil, Sinhalese, Croatian, and Polish — reflecting waves of migration from Southern Africa, South-East Asia, and continuing links to Europe.

Your translation will be accepted. Guaranteed.

Every LEXIGO translation carries full NAATI certification and our 100% acceptance guarantee. If any WA government department, court, or institution doesn't accept your translation, we'll resolve it at no additional cost. We work with the State Administrative Tribunal, Department of Transport WA, and Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages WA regularly — we know exactly what each institution requires.
