The Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helene (Greek: Καθεδρικός Ναός Αγίων Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης) is a Greek Orthodox church in Perth, Western Australia. It was the first Greek Orthodox church built in Western Australia and took twelve years to erect. Before its foundation, Greek migrants in Perth conducted ecclesiastical services in their homes and workplaces, as well as in Anglican venues. The Castellorizian Association of WA, made up of Greek migrants from the island of Castellorizo, bought land on Parker Street, Northbridge, to house a church and hall, and the Hellenic Community of Western Australia put effort into raising funds for the buildings. In 1925, the hall was built, where church services and fundraising events took place. In 1936, the church was built and a consecration ceremony was conducted the following year. The cathedral is based on Byzantine architecture and the Church of Saints Costandinou and Eleni in Castellorizo, and the build cost was £4500. Currently, Father Terry Gerovasilis is the church's parish priest.

The Australian College of Applied Education (ACAE), previously the Australian School of Tourism and Hotel Management (ASTHM), Australia's first private hotel school, was established in 1989 in Perth. ACAE ran courses ranging from hospitality and cookery, to business, management and accounting.ACAE's parent Careers Australia generated hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding for expensive training courses. Investigations by ABC television journalists revealed the company was targeting vulnerable students using door-to-door sales brokers offering "free" computers as inducements to enroll. When that sales tactic was banned by the Federal Government, Careers Australia moved to telemarketing, online competitions offering "free" iPads, and employment websites to obtain people's personal information without their knowledge. In April 2017 the Federal Government denied Careers Australia access to its vocational education scheme because of its poor track record, which included the company admitting to breaking consumer law. The business, including ACAE's Perth campus, was closed down on 25 May.
