Adult English literacy programs for migrants and refugees are available for free, through hundreds of locations across the country.
Learning to speak and write English is a key skill for migrants to Australia.
The federal government encourages adult literacy education across the country, particularly for newly arrived migrants and refugees where English is not their first language.
AMES Australias Laurie Nowell says adult literacy programs for migrants and refugees can be accessed through local Adult Migrant English Program providers and for most eligible people the courses are free.
People can take lessons in a classroom full-time or part-time, or distance learning with internet or telephone guidance, with tutors who make home visits or using online websites.
Lessons are held in 250 locations across the country, including cities, regional and rural areas.
