Unifi, the UWA wireless network, is available in a wide range of areas across campus. UWA staff and current students can access the Unifi Wi-Fi network for free and connect up to three devices at any one time.

Students must have an active UniID account and agree to the terms and conditions of internet access in their UniID account settings in order to use Unifi. Staff must also have an active UniID account, but full internet access is granted automatically. The username and password for the Unifi Wi-Fi network are your UWA student or staff number and UniID password.

UnifiGuest is only available for official guests to the University. It is not available for members of the public, Community Members or UWA Affiliate Members. 

Visitors from other universities may be eligible for free Wi-Fi via the international Eduroam network. UWA staff and students also have access to Eduroam, but only while visiting other participating institutions overseas and in Australia.

Visit this Eduroam help page for instructions on how to connect to Eduroam while visiting a participating institution. 

Visitors will need to consult their home institution to determine the credentials they need to use to log on to Eduroam while visiting UWA.
