The Perth Mint Gold Tour in Perth lasts about one hour and is led by a guide. Visitors enter the heritage building located at 310 Hay Street in East Perth, a short walk from the city centre. The tour begins with a visit to the original Melting House and the secure vaults, where the guide explains gold refining and coin production in Western Australia. Next, visitors explore the Gold Exhibition, which includes multimedia presentations, interactive displays, historic images, and artifacts related to Western Australia's gold history. Highlights include seeing the largest gold coin ever made, weighing one tonne, and viewing Australia’s largest collection of natural gold nuggets. During the tour, guests watch a demonstration of molten gold being poured to create a solid gold bar. Visitors can also handle gold bullion worth more than seven hundred thousand dollars and learn the value of their own weight in gold. The tour includes a guide but does not include food, drinks, hotel pickup, or transportation to or from the Mint. The Perth Mint is accessible by the free Central Area Transit (CAT) Red bus, which stops directly outside. The site offers wheelchair access, universal restrooms, and a wheelchair is available for loan if needed. An exhibition guide brochure is provided in eight languages. The Mint is open on public holidays from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon but is closed on New Year's Day, Good Friday, Anzac Day, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.
