CVAS story

The inspiration

CVAS was born on September 2, 2024, sparked by a thought-provoking question from one of our founders: “If we don’t establish an association for the Vietnamese community in Canberra now, then when is the right time?” This moment of inspiration motivated us to take action and create a welcoming space for connection, celebration, and cultural pride. Together, we are embarking on an exciting journey to uplift our community and celebrate our rich heritage!
