“Connecting Filipinos in and to Australia since 2010.”
Pinoy AU Info is a community-driven hub created by Filipinos, for Filipinos who dream of building a life in Australia.
The site first came to life in December 2009 as a simple test forum built by a few Filipino migrants who wanted a space to share first-hand experiences — from visa paperwork and flight preparations to settling into new schools and jobs. After a month of trial and setup, it officially went live in January 2010, opening its doors to kababayans across the globe.
What began as a handful of discussion threads quickly grew into a vibrant community where newcomers and long-time residents could ask questions, offer help, and feel less alone on their migration journey.
Over the years, Pinoy AU Info has become widely known as one of the go-to forums for Filipinos in Australia — a trusted place to find guidance, share stories, and celebrate milestones together. Thousands of members have exchanged tips on everything from visa requirements and school enrollment to job hunting, renting apartments, and even discovering the best Filipino food in their new cities.
As the needs of the community evolved, so did we. What was once a modest message board has expanded into a comprehensive platform that combines community forums, practical resources, and partner services — all designed to make the migration process less overwhelming, more empowering, and safer for everyone.
We’re committed to keeping the space welcoming, respectful, and scam-free. As part of our ongoing efforts to step up community safety, we’re working on new identity-verification features that will soon help highlight trusted members and advertisers — making it easier for everyone to know who they’re interacting with.
At Pinoy AU Info, you’ll find:
- Essential Resources: helpful guides, visa updates, and official links presented in clear, practical language.
- Community Q & A: authentic stories, peer-to-peer advice, and tips from people who’ve been in the same shoes.
- Safe Marketplace & Partners: a growing list of vetted service providers for migration, housing, jobs, and more.
- Events & Announcements: from meet-ups and webinars to community-funded initiatives and shared celebrations.
For more than a decade, we’ve been proud to serve as both a reliable guide and a warm online home for Filipinos in Australia. Whether you’re still exploring your options or have already built a life down under, Pinoy AU Info is here to support your journey every step of the way.
Serving the Filipino-Australian community since our early days in December 2009 and officially since January 2010 — your long-time trusted forum and welcoming online family.
