You do not need to use referencing (although if you quote someone keep it short and place it in quotation marks).

UWA expects the highest degree of academic conduct from all students. Penalties for breach of academic conduct vary according to seriousness of the case, and may include the requirement to do further work or repeat work; deduction of marks; the award of zero marks for the assessment; failure of one or more units; suspension from a course of study; exclusion from the University; non-conferral of a degree, diploma or other award to which the student would otherwise have been entitled.

For further assistance, please visit the STUDYSmarter Plagiarism Portal. In accordance with the University Policy on Assessment, all text-based summative assessments worth 10% or more will be passed through text-matching software. “Passing” an automated checking program does not in itself confirm that a breach of academic conduct has not occurred, and markers may make other checks as appropriate.For more information about text-matching see the University Library Guide.
