Rivervale woman Dana Vulin, 25, who was set alight in her apartment.

A  woman in Australia was allegedly set on fire.

The 25-year-old woman, Dana Vulin suffered severe burns to her face and upper torso covering 30% of her body, reported Perthnow.com.au.

A neighbour told police she was actually "smouldering" as she screamed for help.

Police are investigating a 24-year-old man in relation to the attack inside an apartment.

Detective Senior Sergeant Chris Adams, from Kensington Detectives, said it did not appear her apartment had been broken into.

"This seems to be a pre-meditated approach, as far as identifying who this person is. We have a number of witnesses that heard a disturbance in the morning that suggested something obviously wasn't right," he said.

It's the third time a woman has been set on fire in Perth in the past few months.
