The Vietnamese Community in Australia NSW Chapter

The Vietnamese Community in Australia NSW Chapter (VCA/NSW) is a not-for-profit community organisation formed in 1978. Following the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) on April 30th 1975, an exodus of Vietnamese fled the country by boat to escape persecution from the Vietnamese Communist government. They would be later known as Vietnamese boat refugees. In the late 1970’s, the Liberal Government under the Late Honourable Malcolm Fraser opened the doors to Vietnamese refugees.
