The TEAM Australiance


Australiance is a team of Australian and French people dedicated to helping you make the most of your stay in Australia. We try to share with you all the necessary information and offer tailored services to help you settle down under.



Léo – Founder


During his Master of Science in Management, Leo had the opportunity to do an MBA exchange program in Melbourne in 2002-2003 and fell in love at first sight with Australia. After working for 6 years as a finance consultant in a « Big 4 » in France and Australia, Leo decided to take a break to work on the Australiance project from his North Bondi headquarters, in order to share his own experience and to advise people wishing to come to Australia to travel, work or study.

“Since I arrived in Australia in 2007, I have helped many friends organise their stay in Australia or their expatriation: this is how Australiance was born. Through our website, we wish to establish “win-win” relationships with our visitors and partners. The aim is to display as much advice as possible, but also solutions for our visitors, as if they were our best friends.”

“To me, Australia means sunshine and freedom. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start a new sunny life, to meet new open-minded people and achieve your dreams of exoticism in your everyday life. You will come back to your home country full of new ideas and with a positive mindset”

Mario – Spain & Latin America Manager


After completion of his Industrial Engineer degree, Mario came to Australia to improve his English, meet new people, travel along Australia and South East Asia, then come back to South America to start his professional career. Due to the high demand of engineers in Australia, his plans changed and he got sponsored by an Australian engineering company.


Always having in mind the idea of helping people in their adventures in Australia, Mario joined the Australiance team and started to be the link between Latin America and Australia.


“Since I arrived to Australia in 2008 I’ve had many friends and people getting in contact with me to get information about traveling, immigration and work in Australia, that’s why I joined the Australiance team because I feel that this project will help many people follow their dreams!”
