Perth Immigration Residential Housing

Opened in 2007, the Perth Immigration Residential Housing (IRH) is located in suburban Redcliffe.

Placement in immigration residential housing allows people in immigration detention to live in a more domestic environment and permits a greater degree of autonomy over their life while remaining formally in immigration detention.

Accommodation and facilities

The Perth centre comprises two single storey dwellings capable of accommodating different family compositions. Each house consists of five bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and dining facilities and two living areas.

One house is configured to accommodate people with disabilities.

An additional building is provided for all residents and their visitors and is also used for administration purposes. The Perth IRH centre blends in with the surrounding environment of the Redcliffe area. The facility is surrounded by a typical suburban fence and border plantings and security is subtle and unobtrusive. Other outdoor areas also feature local native plants and informal landscaped areas surround the dwellings.

All operational and maintenance aspects of the centre are undertaken by the Detention Services Provider.
