Nepalese Association of Victoria


Lily D’AMBROSIO

Nepalese Association of Victoria

Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:57): I rise today to speak about the Nepalese Association of Victoria and its excellence awards, which I was pleased to attend just last month. This biennial and noteworthy occasion is a chance for Nepali community members to gather and honour those who give back to the community through their time, skills and sheer kindness. I am fortunate to know many members and leaders of the Nepalese Association of Victoria and have done so for a number of years. The association was one of the first community organisations to be registered in Australia for the Nepali people by people of Nepalese descent. Through the years the organisation has done an outstanding job in advocating for and supporting the growth and needs of Nepalese Victorians. Congratulations to the newly elected NAV executive committee and all the award nominees and winners.
