History

In 1951, AMES began providing English to new settlers in Australia.

More than half a million students have attended AMES programs and services since its post-war inception. AMES has grown to provide settlement, education and employment services to our culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) clients.

Prior to becoming an autonomous Adult Education Institution, incorporated under the Adult Community and Further Education Act, AMES was a Service Agency of the Victorian Government's Department of Education, Employment and Training.
