Perth has a smaller share house market than the eastern capitals, so there are fewer rooms but also fewer people chasing each one. Most listings sit along the train lines and around the universities. Rents move with the resources sector, which makes them less predictable here than elsewhere.

Ask how bills are split, since cooling costs climb over summer.
There are currently 11 rooms advertised in Perth on flatmate.com. Listings change daily, so it is worth saving a search rather than checking back by hand.
UWA is at Crawley, Curtin at Bentley, Murdoch to the south and ECU at Joondalup and Mount Lawley. Crawley, Nedlands and Shenton Park sit closest to UWA, while Bentley and Victoria Park suit Curtin.
Semester one starts late February, semester two late July.
Check the nearest train station rather than the distance, since the lines do the heavy lifting here.
