Situated near the banks of Perth’s beautiful Swan River and close to our pristine sandy beaches and bustling city. Perron Institute and its surroundings have a lot to offer for anyone considering working here.
The research institute’s focus is the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Through our laboratories and specialist clinics, we translate the results of our research into treatments that will create the future of personalised, precision medicine by tackling global health challenges and tailoring therapies to specific groups and individuals.
Perron Institute’s on-site treatment clinics are a key strength of the Institute, allowing our clinicians to treat people with complex neurological disorders.

Some of our favourite WA destinations are only a hop, skip, and a jump away including wineries in the local Swan Valley, and the idyllic home to the Quokkas, Rottnest Island.
With a vibrant culture scene, Perth offers a smorgasbord of experiences, from fantastic world-class foodie spots, cultural festivals throughout the year, or Saturday night sports at the newly built Optus Stadium, there is no shortage of leisure activities for newcomers and locals alike.
