A great career often starts with an ambitious vision. So for many Australians, pursuing the dream of a career with a global perspective means working and living overseas – to expand networks, learn from diverse experiences, and discover new cultures and challenges.

Los Angeles is a global powerhouse of entertainment, finance, marketing and manufacturing industries with the second largest community of Aussies outside Australia.  As the gateway city to the US for Australian business, LA provides a great environment for establishing a new business, learning new skills, and having a lot of fun along the way. 

I encourage all Australians who come to LA to further their careers by joining Advance - to help you succeed in your chosen field, to access Advance resources and events, to provide you with the opportunity to connect with other Australians, and most importantly to take part in celebrating our unique Australian character and promoting the interests of Australia.

Advance LA is one our fastest growing networks – where actors and academics, management and marketers network and share ideas together in the continual development and growth of this community.

Welcome to Advance! I look forward to meeting you at one of our LA events in 2008, in this, one of the most exciting and diverse cities on earth.
