About organisation
Founded in 1831, the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia (RASWA) is a member-based not-for-profit apolitical organisation based in Perth, WA. RASWA’s role is to promote the significance of rural Western Australia and the state’s primary industries.
RASWA has hosted the Perth Royal Show at the Claremont Showground since 1905, and is the oldest not-for-profit organisation in Western Australia. RASWA holds freehold title to the land at Claremont and its tenure is enshrined in an Act of Parliament.
The Perth Royal Show competitions benchmark excellence across a range of industries including livestock, wine making, beer production, dairy, food production, clothing production, the arts and sport.
Operating under the Royal Agricultural Society Act, the Society also plays a key role in agricultural shows and rural events around the State.
