Frequently asked questions
The things we get asked most, answered straight.
NopalMates is a community of migrants in Australia sharing information based on lived experience. We provide tools, spaces and options to make your adaptation easier.
Most of our members are Mexican, but our help is not limited to one nationality. NopalMates extends a hand to any Ibero-American migrant who needs guidance, company, or simply to feel part of a warm and supportive community in Australia.
No. We do not provide migration advice or legal services. We can point you to providers who, in our experience and that of other migrants, offer good service. Our job is to connect, inform and accompany; the final decision about who to turn to is always yours.
We run cultural and social events like EL GRITO and LA BOTE PEDA, designed to build connection through music, dancing and community.
The biggest help is registering with our community and becoming an active part of the network. You can also come to our events, share our mission, or volunteer.
We would love to hear it. Write to Contacto@nopalmates.com and tell us what you would like to share. Our team will get in touch to set up an interview so the whole community can hear your experience.
