Buying gold in Perth
Western Australia produces more gold than any other state in Australia, and Perth's connection to the gold industry runs deep. The Perth Mint, located at 310 Hay Street in East Perth, is the oldest operating mint in Australia and one of the largest coin-producing mints in the world. It offers a full retail operation where you can purchase gold coins and bars directly, as well as the Perth Mint Certificate Program for investors who prefer allocated storage without taking physical delivery.
The Gold Kangaroo, Australia's flagship bullion coin, is produced at the Perth Mint and is widely available from Perth dealers at competitive premiums. Perth buyers have the unique advantage of being able to purchase directly from the Mint's retail store, though dealer prices can sometimes be lower than retail Mint pricing depending on the product.
Swan Bullion is another Perth-based dealer offering competitive pricing on gold coins and bars. Comparing Perth Mint retail prices against dealer prices is straightforward using the live price table above.
For investors in Western Australia who are considering storage, the Perth Mint's allocated storage and Certificate Program are particularly well regarded. The program is backed by the Western Australian government, which guarantees the Mint's obligations to certificate holders. This is a popular choice for SMSF trustees who need independent custody of their gold. Our SMSF gold guide covers the full storage requirements for complying funds.
Investment-grade gold is GST-free in Australia. The Gold Kangaroo, Gold Kookaburra, and Perth Mint gold bars all qualify for GST exemption. See the gold price page for the current AUD price per ounce, gram, and kilogram.
