Each Alliance Française is a not-for-profit society, operated under local legislation and is managed by a Board of Directors elected

The Alliance Française network in Australia is made up of 30 branches.
These six capital Alliances are managed by French expatriates seconded from the Ministère

There are also 24 regional Alliances administered by committees made up of volunteers. The majority of them are located along the eastern
