Adult Migrant English Program

STEPS offer a range of free services to ensure students are given the best opportunity to successfully undertake their studies.

Services include:

Free Childcare
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.

At Home Tutoring
Home tutors can provide you with extra learning support in your own home.  Home Tutor support is FREE and can give you the one on one help needed to improve your language skills.  We will match you with a suitable tutor based on your learning needs.

The Special Preparatory Program provides up to 400 additional hours of tailored English classes to eligible humanitarian clients in recognition of their greater learning and support needs arising from difficult pre-migration experiences, such as torture or trauma, and/or limited prior schooling.

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.
