“I am looking forward to competing this year as I want to use this year to grow |and learn more about myself and the world,” she said.
As part of the pageant’s finals Ms Bayliss has the chance to raise funds for a chosen charity.
She said she had chosen Compassion Australia – a charity focussed on assisting children who live in poverty with education, medical help and freshwater and more.
“We are lucky to have access to fresh water and medical services here in Perth. There are so many young children who need reading glasses, education support, immunisations and clean clothes,” she said.
“Helping Compassion Australia will allow children in poverty the chance to receive all those things.”
Ms Bayliss said her goal was to raise $500 for Compassion Australia before August.
