The Dominican Sisters of Western Australia, is an autonomous group of women, part of a worldwide group of other independent Dominican Sisters. We were invited to the Geraldton Diocese in 1899 to provide Education and pastoral work in this vast area where the gold rushes were expanding rapidly. In 1942, We were invited to the Perth Archdiocese to provided Education in primary and secondary schools and later and tertiary Institutions.

In Oceania, we belong to the Federation of Dominican Sisters of Oceania which includes Dominican Sisters of North Adelaide, Holy Cross Congregation in Adelaide, Dominican Sisters of Eastern Australia and the Solomon Islands, and the New Zealand Dominican Sisters. All of whom are involved with Education – preaching and teaching.
