Hola!
Welcome to ArLA community Australia
Belonging to a community brings a significant positive impact on our lives; together we can achieve amazing things.
Our Mission
ArLA Community Australia is a volunteer-led organisation run as a non-profit, supporting female Latin American architects and graduates of architecture as they navigate their professional journey in Australia. Our purpose is to advance education, promote professional development, and reduce barriers to employment by creating a culturally safe and supportive environment.
We do this by fostering peer support, facilitating access to industry knowledge, and offering group-based activities that encourage networking, mentorship, and shared learning—ultimately strengthening community connection and participation in the architectural, design and construction sectors across Australia.
Networking
Building meaningful, long-lasting relationships that can lead to endless
opportunities.
Support
Creating a safe space for all of our members, promoting well-being and giving
them access to resources to navigate the architectural, design and construction fields in Australia.
Inspiration
Sharing our stories of resilience and success, making you feel that you’re not
alone on this journey.

Anelisse Arias, Argentinian architectural graduate based in Sydney

Support Us
Help us create Opportunities for Latin American Architects and Graduates.
We are committed to breaking barriers for skilled female migrant architects and graduates. Many talented Latin American women face unstable jobs and limited opportunities, despite their qualifications. We aim to empower them to secure sustainable careers while closing the gender and cultural gap in Australia’s architectural industry.
