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 making significant presence in the area of skilled labour, professionals and businesses of the Australian society. Our association is an organisation representing the Vietnamese community, it covers more than 20 different groups, such as the areas of Vietnamese ex-servicemen, education, religion, welfare, political and many more.
We are recognised as well known non-profit community service provider across Queensland. After many years of service we are now a point of contact for many locals from Vietnamese heritage and all nationalities.
