Hosts Australia are into the Asian Cup final after beating China 2-1 in the semis.
Leicester City's Emily van Egmond has featured in every game for the Matildas on home soil, and came on as a stoppage time substitute to help her side see out the game.
Australia will face either South Korea, with whom they drew 2-2 in the group stage, or Japan in the final.
In front of a 35,000 strong crowd in Perth, the hosts started strongly. Arsenal's Caitlin Foord created a chance for Mary Fowler inside five minutes and opened the scoring herself with a well-placed finish into the bottom corner on 17 minutes.
