Australian Vietnamese Women’s Association
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:54): On another matter, last week I attended the Immigration Museum for an unveiling of an exhibition by the Australian Vietnamese Women’s Association entitled 40 Years Young and Thriving. It marks 40 years of dedicated service to the community as one of the leading cultural organisations in Australia. AVWA provides extensive non-profit services to the Vietnamese Victorian community, including in the south-east of Melbourne. I commend the work of AVWA and the services they provide for the community, including aged and disability care and other training services too. I am happy to note that the AVWA has an office in Springvale in my electorate. I thank the members of AVWA, including the president Mrs Cam Nguyen and the new CEO Nicky Chung, for their commitment to providing non-profit services to the local Vietnamese community.
