New to Perth and look for friends and a job

Hello everyone. I have recently moved to Perth with my parents (although I am 25 years old), and I don't know anyone. My mum and I are feeling a bit lost and out of our depth. We are both looking for friends and jobs/volunteering opportunities. We live in central Perth and would very much like to meet people. Thank you :)

Can anyone tell us how long it took for yourselves to settle in? My mum isn't sure she is ever going to settle here.

Hi and welcome to PP. 'Settling' is an individual experience. I knew my heart belonged here the moment I landed, others never really feel at home no matter how long they're here. Some pine for family and friends for months while others have a holiday feeling for the first year then start to feel homesick, we're all different, with different life experiences so there isn't really anything anyone can do in terms of advice, you just gotta live it your way.

 

Could you be little more specific than 'central Perth'? If you're in the heart of the CBD then no wonder you feel isolated, it may be very difficult to join a community. The great thing I think about Perth is that there's always a lot going on so getting out to things like the Fringe or the Festival is a great way to get to know the soul of the city. We've a few music festivals still to go; Blues and Roots in Freo is always good and this year we have Paolo Nuttini and David Gray playing (which we're really stoked about).

 

Perth is the sort of place you'll make the most of by getting out there and getting stuck in. If you sit at home, subscribe to Foxtel and think about Tesco's you'll find life here very difficult so tell us about yourselves, come along to some meet ups and you might begin to feel more comfortable.
