Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsLobbyistsHistoryThe Australia Vietnam Society formed in 1975 from within the anti-Vietnam War movement with the aim of improving relations between Australia and Vietnam and encouraging aid for post-war reconstruction in Vietnam. It has subsequently become involved with the treatment of Australian veterans of the war and the health, education and welfare of Vietnamese refugees in Australia. The Society still functions and it has successfully influenced the policies of the Labor Government on Vietnam in the 1980s and 1990s seeing most of its recommendations adopted.
