Friends of Mexico in WA

Friends of Mexico in WA (FOMEX), is a non-profit, incorporated association created in 2006. FOMEX’s mission statement is “to promote Mexican culture and heritage in Western Australia”. To achieve its mission FOMEX is open to the general public, not just to Mexicans living in Perth.

The association is run by an enthusiastic group of volunteers, who contribute their time and energy to bring Mexico closer to Western Australia.
