What are the Vietnamese communities in Australia?
According to Australia Census [http://www.abs.gov.au] there are nearly 174000 people in Australia who have Vietnamese ancestry. Vietnamese is the 7th commonest language used at home in Australia. Since 1975 when Sino-Russian-backed Communist North Vietnam invaded American-backed South Vietnam, thousands of refugees fled to the sea - the well documented "boatpeople crisis", many settled in Australia. The need to gather and support each other became obvious for these refugees. In the state of New South Wales, Vietnamese refugees gradually "homed" into several "communities" like in the suburbs of Cabramatta and Bankstown. Likewise, Richmond and Springvale in Victoria are meeting places for the Vietnamese Australia. The Vietnamese Community in Australia (the VCA) was formed in 1977. It is a non-profit, democratically elected, umbrella organisation representing all Australians of Vietnamese origin. Each mainland State has a Chapter, whose representatives are elected in open elections every 2 years. Apart from supporting local Vietnamese communities in Australia - mainly in social and health issues, the VCA also works hard in promoting international awareness of the problems in their homeland Vietnam, where they believe the communist government are continuing to oppress media and religious freedom and worsening human right abuse.
