Advance - Los Angeles

Advance is charged with the mission to create opportunities for Australians living abroad. A vehicle for the one million strong expatriate community to stay connected with home, whilst we forge exciting pursuits in foreign cities.

Los Angeles is home to over 40,000 Australians, many of whom we connect with regularly through;

>Hot topic events and forums

>Mentorships

>Marketing programs

>Ministerial and dignitary visits

>Local collaborations and networking

When an Australian leaves Australia, he or she has an opportunity to be a truly global citizen – informed, connected and networked.

We look forward to helping you ‘Advance yourself’ on the world stage.

Welcome!
