About Us

Connecting skilled migrants with Australian companies since 2015

We started back in 2015 as a group of enthusiastic skilled migrants that wanted to connect with Australian professionals but didn’t know where to start. Six years later, more than 50 companies, over 900 individuals from 17 different nationalities have been connected through Hola Networking in Australia!

Our purpose remains the same. Connecting entrepreneurs, businesses, and like-minded professionals from Latin America and Australia, where all the cultures are welcome.

In 2019, our founder Sebastian Toro that has been working with the LATAM community in Australia since 2009, was invited to be part of The Lord Mayor’s Multicultural Business Round Table, representing the Latin American Community. The Lord Mayor’s Multicultural Round Table acts as an independent advisory body that provides business leaders, decision-makers, opinion leaders and key stakeholders from Brisbane’s multicultural community with an opportunity to discuss issues that they believe need addressing to ensure the economic advancement of Brisbane.

And we haven’t stop there. Our passion for connecting with integrity, leadership, and diversity has taken our dream to new highs. In 2020 due to COVID, we launched our first virtual event that helped our community to generate new business and employment opportunities. These activities increase trade between the two continents and beyond.

We are Hola Networking.

    Hola Networking is a valuable platform. It acts as a bridge between individuals as well as businesses in connecting new migrants to professional services they may need from time to time. Hola Networking has assisted Emersons in not only recruiting staff members from a LATAM background but has also referred clients to us who require both family law and migration law support. They are a trusted partner in the LATAM space and have our firm’s full endorsement.
