Chinese Community Society of Victoria

Mr HAMER: The Chinese Community Society of Victoria has operated for more than 100 years and, similar to other Chinese organisations around the world, was established to assist and support Chinese immigrants arriving in their new home. While its core objectives have remained, the society also does an enormous amount of charity work, including funding an emergency paramedic vehicle for Box Hill Hospital and raising$14 000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital, $46 000 for flood relief for Victoria and $10 000 for flood relief for Queensland, as well as supplying masks and sanitiser to the Salvation Army and various local public welfare organisations. Box Hill is very lucky to have the CCS Vic active in its community, and I want to pay particular tribute to its chairperson, long-time Box Hill identity the hardworking Vincent Liu, and his tremendous community leadership.
