WELCOME
Welcome to Australia, and Perth!
The city of Perth is the capital city of Western Australia, Australia’s largest state. Perth has a population of approximately 2m (2017).
In Perth we enjoy a wonderful climate featuring low humidity, warm summers and cool winters. The people of Perth experience more sunny days than any other city in Australia, with the temperature averages ranging from around 18°C in winter and to 30°C in summer.
Perth is one of the few places in Australia where soft sandy beaches and beautiful parks meet a busy hub of restaurants, theatres, street art and culture.
The Australian College of Specialist Makeup is located a short 10 minute walk from Perth’s city centre and only a five minute walk from Perth Central Station. Students also enjoy that we have many cafes and restaurants within walking distance of our location.
Our Perth campus boasts seven large and spacious classrooms, with views of the city skyline. All rooms are filled with as much natural sunlight as possible.
We have a fully functioning student clinic on campus where clients visit us for discounted beauty treatments performed by current students, ensuring all of our students have access to hands-on, practical training.
Aspire Medispa is located on the first level of our campus and is open to all students for treatments and to purchase retail products.
For a full list of treatments offered within the medispa, please visit www.aspiremedispa.com.au.
We also have an equipped kitchenette for all students and staff to utilise, including fridge and microwave. There are two fully stocked vending machines for the students to use if they wish.

Contact Details
Overseas students should be aware that it is their duty to advise the provider of any change in their contact details (i.e. Australian residential address and telephone number) as automatic visa cancellation could occur without knowledge to the student. Such cancellation may not be revoked if it has occurred where the student has failed to keep the provider informed.

It is the student’s responsibility to organise their own health cover prior to and for the duration of their stay in Australia. The approximate cost of health care cover for one year is $500.00. Please note that you must apply for OSHC before you apply for your student visa.

Overseas students should be aware that they must maintain satisfactory course progress during their studies.
