Perth dating agencies and matchmakers: who's who and what it costs

Perth has a small number of matchmakers that are genuinely based here, plus national firms reaching in. We list four that say on their own websites that they serve Perth: three with Perth addresses and one that serves the city from Melbourne. Everything comes from each firm's own website as it read on 20 October 2026, and its own documents take precedence over our summary. No listing is paid for and none carries an affiliate link.

Who's working in Perth right now

Solutions Matchmaking

The most locally rooted of the four. Solutions Matchmaking Pty Ltd says it was established in 1995 and is "100% WA owned and operated", with an office at Suite 3A, Astor Arcade, 665 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley. Its phone line is open 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. It sorts members into groups, including Busy Singles, Empty Nesters, Active Retirees and Twilight Years, and its Country Contacts group welcomes members from all over Western Australia. It offers a no-obligation consultation, and says sending in your profile for review "costs you nothing".

Louanne Ward Matchmaking

A Perth matchmaker with two addresses: Suite 5, 531 Hay Street, Subiaco, and 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth. Its service starts with a discovery session, then it searches its own database and outside networks, discusses each potential match with you, and arranges the date only once you've approved the match. It speaks to you after every date. It also offers styling, makeovers and date coaching, and mentions clients who work shifts or FIFO rosters.

Make sure you're on the firm's own site, louannewardmatchmaking.com.au. When we checked, the similar address louanneward.com.au showed an unrelated template page rather than the agency.

HYTCH Private Search

A matchmaker with a Perth office at Level 25, Capital Square Tower 3, 1 Spring Street, and others in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Its Perth page calls it "Perth's most exclusive matchmaker service". It offers matchmaking for men, women and LGBTI+ clients, with paid VIP and Private memberships and a free Open Membership for women aged 25 to 70, whose profiles are considered for introductions to paying members. It says its clients are women aged 25 to 70 and men aged 35 to 75.

Find Fit Love

A Melbourne-based matchmaker for active, health-minded singles, with a Perth page but no Perth address. It says plainly that "Perth is a newer city for us than Melbourne and Sydney", which is the kind of candour worth rewarding with a direct question: how many people in your age range does it already know here? Applying is free and you pay only when an introduction goes ahead.

Prices side by side, with the date we checked

With three of the four keeping prices for the consultation, go in knowing what you can afford, and ask for the fee and payment schedule in writing before you commit. Our guide to whether a matchmaker is worth it shows how to compare a membership fee with a per-introduction price.

How each one vets the people you'll meet

• Find Fit Love says it checks identity through an independent third-party process, an ID and selfie check, before any introduction, and doesn't keep licence or passport images on file. It says people who misrepresent themselves are removed and not refunded.
• HYTCH says it is "strict about meeting all potential matches in person" before presenting them.
• Louanne Ward Matchmaking says its matches are pre-screened and have been ID checked, but doesn't say how.
• Solutions Matchmaking says it meets members face to face and that its profiles carry "no old, out of date or shopped photos". Its online form asks applicants to declare any criminal record.

A face-to-face meeting and a current photo are worth having. They don't confirm that someone is single, or that what they said about their job or age is true. Our guide to how agencies vet members explains what to ask for.

What the fee actually buys you

Find Fit Love is the only one of the four that publishes its terms in any detail: no fee if you decline before a date is set; a credit towards your next introduction if the other person cancels; a full credit or a replacement if they don't turn up; and, for misrepresentation or safety problems, a replacement or refund depending on the situation.

The three Perth-based firms don't publish membership lengths, numbers of introductions or refund terms on the pages we read, and Solutions Matchmaking doesn't link to any terms at all. That isn't unusual, but it means the written agreement you're offered is the only place those answers will be. Ask for it before you pay and take it home to read.

The rules that protect you in Western Australia

We haven't found rules written specifically for introduction agencies in Western Australia. The state's list of fair trading regulations includes codes for other industries but none for introduction agencies; Queensland and Victoria are the states that have them. The national Australian Consumer Law applies: a service must be provided with due care and skill and within a reasonable time, and if it isn't, remedies can include cancellation and a refund.

If an agency phoned you, came to your door or approached you in public without being invited, and the agreement is worth more than $100, you have 10 business days to cancel. That doesn't apply if you contacted the agency first, which is how most people start. So in Perth, the cancellation terms in your contract matter more than they would in Brisbane or Melbourne. Our guide to dating agencies in Australia compares the states, and contracts and refunds covers what to look for in the small print.

What to ask at your first consultation

1. What is the full fee, including GST, and when is each part due?
2. How many introductions will I get, and over what period?
3. Does a match I decline count as an introduction?
4. How many current members fit what I'm looking for, by age and by area?
5. Do you check ID? Anything else, such as relationship status?
6. Can I pause my membership if I meet someone, or if I'm away on a roster?
7. If I change my mind next week, what do I get back?

Question 4 matters in a state this size: someone in Joondalup and someone in Mandurah are both "Perth" to an agency. Our full list of questions and what happens at the first interview will help you prepare, and the warning signs guide covers pressure to sign on the day.

Our own online service, listed separately

DatingAgency.com is not one of the agencies above. We run an online dating service where you do the searching yourself: nobody interviews members or picks matches. Joining, making a profile and browsing are free; reading and replying to messages needs a paid membership that renews until you cancel. Profiles are shared with partner sites in the same network, and what members write about themselves isn't checked. How our service works and our prices give the details.
