For the outgoing flight from Singapore to Perth, aim for a fare of S$139.
For the incoming flight from Perth to Singapore, aim for a fare of S$145.
At the time of writing, I saw these fares for both flights on some dates from July to November 2022.
Bonus: Don’t forget that you can redeem just 12,500 Krisflyer miles each way from Perth to exotic Pape’ete, French Polynesia through a fantastic Singapore Airlines sweet spot!
Sydney and Melbourne from S$341
You can also find great fares to Sydney and Melbourne from S$341. But with a flight duration of ~8 hours, it can be very tiring to fly in a low-cost carrier; especially when you can find Singapore Airlines fares to Melbourne for S$600+ that includes food and baggage.
