If you can see on slide show, our Vietnamese group has a great honour to visit the new hospital since its building 4 years ago and we have a plan for fund raising from that time to now.
The new Footscray Hospital will be completed at the end next year 2025, and operational by the end of the next year at a cost of $1.5 billion with support from the Victorian Government. This is a modern hospital and the largest health infrastructure investment in the state. The Western Health Foundation has been working with the Venerable Thich Phuoc Tan and the Vietnamese community to fundraise for the new Footscray Hospital.
Located on the corner of Geelong and Ballarat Roads, the new Footscray Hospital will support the increasing demand from Melbourne’s booming western suburbs,
Building a bigger and better Footscray Hospital will cut wait times and reduce pressure on nearby hospitals., with total 500 beds the new hospital will treat approximately around 20,000 people to be seen by the emergency department each year.
. In the past, the Vietnamese community has successfully mobilized the community 's contributions such as raising funds for Sunshine Hospital $300,000 for Joan Kirner Hospital $300,000 then prepared masks for Western Victoria $200,000 during the Covid 19 pandemic,
Today we have 2nd fund raising for the New Foostcray hospital , we got 1 fundraiser of Vietnamese community of Victoria 2 months ago
Over the past 2 months of this campaign, the total amount of donations has increased day by day from $270,000 to $370,000 before the event and has now reached over half a million dollars, of which Mission Possible has broken the record with $531,206 and will further increase the amount of online donations in the coming days through media advertising.

This is a very big campaign, the Board of Directors of Western Health Foundation Hospital announced to the all communities, the Vietnamese community will be honored to be the pioneers in this campaign,
The federal Labor and Liberal Government and the Victorian state Labor have given 16 million dollars to build the first Vietnamese museum in Sunshine, the first in Australia.
25 Vietnamese community members with guidance of constructing staff had the opportunity to visit the final stage of construction 2 months ago, on 12/07/2024, we witnessed the modern, huge and wonderful of building including large rooms for medical wards, Psychiatric rooms, Emergency room and all facilities for all patients in Victoria.
This is a good opportunity for Vietnamese people to demonstrate our generosity to the Australian Government and this is a great honour for our Vietnamese community.
Our ancestors said "When eating fruit, we always remember who plant the tree, and when drinking water, we remember the source"
