WA school catchment checker

Enter an address to see nearby schools in Western Australia from the national school list. Ideal Home does not show Local Enrolment Area Yes or No for WA government schools.

Local Enrolment Area: Yes — inside No — outside No data — unavailable N/A — non-government

Local Enrolment Area is No data for WA government schools — not the same as No (outside a catchment). N/A is for non-government schools.

WA publishes local-intake areas in the Government Gazette and on Schools Online (Department of Education). Search an address without the postcode, then open each school’s local-intake details. Those polygons are not an open dataset we can load, so we do not guess the official local school.

How to use this

Common questions

Does No data mean I am outside the local-intake area?: No. No data means Ideal Home cannot answer. No would mean we matched a catchment and you are outside it. We do not guess Yes or No for WA.
Where is the official checker?: WA Schools Online address search (no postcode), then confirm with the school. More answers on the catchment FAQ.

First-pass nearby-schools list only — not enrolment advice and not an official local-intake answer. Always confirm with the school and the Department of Education.
