WA is one of the most culturally diverse states in Australia and is home to people from over 190 countries who speak approximately 240 languages and dialects (including around 50 Aboriginal languages). Its capital Perth, is one of the world’s most liveable cities and was ranked sixth globally in 2021. While scoring very well in most measures, lower scores in components of the culture and environment category, which includes cultural and sporting availability, have impacted Perth’s global ranking over the decade to 2021.
