Do you need child care to be able to attend the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) classes? Free child care is available for children who are under school age during your class times.

When you meet with us we will discuss suitable childcare options with you so that you can get the most out of your study.

Classes for Under 18 years old

Migrants and humanitarian entrants aged between 15 and 17 years of age who do not have functional English and whose needs are not met through mainstream schooling may also be eligible to participate in the program.  Participation is generally determined case-by-case, considering individual circumstances and in consultation with local schools.
