Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP)

AMEP is funded by the Australian Government and provides free English language lessons to eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants.

If you have been granted a permanent or eligible temporary visa and speak little or no English, you may be eligible for AMEP. In some instances, people between the ages of 15 and 17 may also be eligible. The AMEP has been improved to increase access for eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants in Australia with no or low levels of English.
