Australian Expat Communities in America 2026

With so many Australians spread across the United States, it helps to have friends and familiar faces around you while you find your feet. Online communities are one of the best ways to get connected early in your move, and even well before you arrive, so you can start asking the right questions and meet people who have already done it.

The fastest way to find your people is to start with your state.

Find your local Aussie community, state by state

Australians in the USA is our network covering every US state. Each state page pulls together the local Facebook and LinkedIn groups, the AFL, cricket and netball teams, upcoming events, E-3 visa employer data, and a community map, all in one place. It is the first stop I would recommend wherever you have landed.

You can also drop a pin on the community map to see where other Australians live near you, and add your own group or business directly on any state page.
