UWA bus services

• CircleRoute (98 and 99), Perth or Northbridge and the Western Suburbs residents can usually catch a bus to UWA quite easily.
• If you live elsewhere in Perth, you will need to catch the bus or train to one of the central Perth city stations and then transfer to a UWA bus service.

Service restrictions and extensions

• The 78 bus service operates on a restricted timetable outside UWA semesters.
• The 79 bus extends its route from UWA to the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and the QEII Medical Centre.

All of these bus services use the bus stop on Stirling Highway at the north end of the Crawley Campus, except for the 97 (Subiaco Shuttle) that stops at the north end of Fairway.
