Vietnamese Community in Australia (QLD Chapter)

The Vietnamese Community in Australia - Queensland Chapter Inc. (VCA-QLD) is a community association. It was formed since 1979 but was formally incorporated in February 1988. The VCA-QLD together with similar associations in other states, are members of the national body: the Vietnamese Community in Australia.

With 40 years of resettlement in Australia and current population estimated at 18,000 people, the composition of our community has experienced some changes such as the emergence of the second generation, being children of the original refugees, growing up and makes significant presence in the area of skilled labour, professionals and businesses … of the Australian society; and recently, freedom loving professional/tradesperson migrants from Vietnam is also added as a small proportion to our community.

Our association is the peak organisation representing the Vietnamese community, it actually covers more than 20 different groups, and some are incorporated some are not, in the areas of Vietnamese ex-servicemen, education, religion, welfare, political etc…

Our goal/mission:

- To promote and preserve the Vietnamese culture and language.
- To promote and develop the self help and solidarity amongst all freedom loving Vietnamese living in Queensland.
- To promote the contribution of the Vietnamese community in Queensland in the economic, political and social strength of the Australian community.
- To promote the friendship between the Vietnamese community and other ethnic communities which share the same objects and purposes.
- To affirm and struggle for the basic human rights and freedom for Vietnamese people.

From an association with mainly self help activities, we have grown into a non-profit service provider, with support programs funded by the Department of Communities, not only for our members but also for the wider community, especially in the Southwest Brisbane Region and its surrounding areas.
