Compatible Communities / Practices

Hello. I am following The Mind Illuminated (TMI) in the earlier stages.
I value community a lot and thus like to go to e.g. weekly group sittings and talks. Also I would like to attend retreats. I live in Melbourne (Australia, not Florida) and Dharma Treasure is not really a thing here. Hence I wanted to ask what styles/schools/sanghas could be compatible.
Generally it would be helpful to know what branches would be compatible or what TMI is derived from / comprised of (e.g. Theravada, Thai Forrest, …). It would also be helpful to know what to avoid (e.g. Mantra meditation, chanting, …).
Also, here are a couple I found nearby, a few are focused on Vipassana, while TMI focuses on Samatha (first):

Western Australia. Many asian countries are cheaper (and sometimes faster) to get to ;-) (I live in Victoria)
