🏢About the Organisation

Founded in September 2021, the League of Latin American Migrants Australia (LLAMA Inc.) is a Melbourne-based not-for-profit and registered charity. We offer free online English classes to Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants across Australia, as well as to Latinos in Latin America who are planning to move here.

Our mission is to help international students, new migrants, and members of Australia's Latin American community successfully integrate into Australian society by providing accessible English education and fostering cultural connection.
