G’day folks! I’ve been to Australia a couple of times, but always on the eastern side. Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne… I am curious about the western side, though. Any recommendations? What is Perth like? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for accessible tour operators in Australia? (Can be anywhere!)

Here are two Australian travel businesses specialising in accessible travel:
1) AccessibleOz – https://accessibleoz.com/
2) Amplify – https://amplifyats.com.au/
Australia also has a quality assurance program within the tourism industry so if you see tour operators displaying any of the logos (image attached) you know that they have been audited to provide for the needs indicated: https://www.qualitytourismaustralia.com/home/accessible-tourism/#:~:text=The%20Accessible%20Tourism%20program%20provides,low%20vision%3B%20wheelchairs%20and%20scooters.

I am in WA now for 2 weeks. First time ever! Not as busy as Syd or Melb, but I personally enjoy it ☺️
Can’t comment on the tour as we rent car to drive up to Kalbarri & down to Margareth River, with stops in between.
Perth CBD easy to get by using wheelchair. There’s free CAT bus too with wheely ramp. Rottnest Island also accessible.. lots of Quokka to make you happy😂
There’s a few beach spots, like Busselton Jetty, that we can borrow beach wheelchair.
Kalbarri Skywalk, Margs town center also accessible.
Spot’s not that accessible (but can still see a bit): Pink lake port gregory (can see from carpark, but oh how I wish can go down to the lake, so pretty 😍) Kalbarri nature windows, Pinnacles.
Here’s some memorable WA photos.
