Home of The Chinese Community President’s Message

Dear Members,

This past year marks a return to normality in the post-COVID world. The Chung Wah Association kickstarted the year with the 2022 Perth Chinese New Year Fair. It was one of the first large-scale community events the state government approved. We are very grateful for the support from the community and our sponsors.

The Office of Multicultural interests (OMI) granted a Community Capital Works Fund of $150,000 for the improvement works on Chung Wah Hall at James street and $80,000 for Chung Wah Cultural Centre at Balcatta. More details will be included in Issue 53 of the Chung Wah Magazine. The renovation works are scheduled to be concluded shortly. We greatly appreciate the kind support from OMI on this.

In May 2022, Chung Wah received an election promise of $1.75 million in funding for an elected Labour Government. The funding comes on top of the $5 million secured before the re-election of the McGowan Government in 2021. Chung Wah Association is grateful for its support. It will enable Chung Wah to purchase and build a fit-forpurpose community centre in the Tangney area to benefit members and the wider community. The announcement was made by Sam LIM, Labour candidate for Tangney on 15 May 2022. We would like to thank Sam LIM MP and express our congratulations to him for being the first Chinese member of the House of Representatives from Western Australia.

The National Trust of Western Australia contacted Chung Wah for assistance in putting together the ‘Beneath the Bitumen Exhibition’. Chung Wah Association established a special task force to work on this exhibition, which was well received by the general public. The Chinese community generously fundraised for the conservation of the jacket found around a Chinese person during the excavation of the East Perth Pioneer Cemetary. Chung Wah Association took the lead on this project that preserved the historical artefacts of the community and is now on exhibition at the National Archive of Australia.

Chung Wah Association had the great pleasure of hosting the Ambassador of China to Australia, his excellency Mr Qian XIAO, on his visit to Western

Australia. Chung Wah organised a community forum with all local Chinese community leaders. Mr Qian XIAO was introduced to the history and heritage of the Chung Wah Association. He was impressed with the great work that has been achieved and expressed his gratitude for the efforts of the Chung Wah Association in maintaining the community spirit and Chinese culture overseas.

The Chung Wah Autumn Centre project has been endorsed as a DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) and can now receive tax-deductible donations. The Autumn Centre Board of Management is now working on fundraising as much as possible to start the construction of the building. Chung Wah Association fully supports this very special charity project. We would also like to express our appreciation to all who have made donations and look forward to future contributions from our members.

Through the State Heritage Grants stream, part of the Heritage Council Grants Program, 32 heritage owners received funding to undertake conservation and heritage planning works. Chung Wah Association received $8,140 on a 50:50 funding basis to update the Chung Wah Hall’s Conservation Management Plan. We appreciate the support from the Western Australia State Government for the financial assistance provided to conserve this important heritage site.

I would like to express my gratitude for the support of the Executive Committee members, members of the Council of Elders, staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to achieve the goals of the projects. Thank you to Murdoch University, Norton Gold Fields Pty Ltd and Global Lithium Resources for their continual sponsorships.

As the peak body of the Chinese community, Chung Wah Association will continue working with other Chinese associations to build social cohesion and celebrate cultural diversity. We wish you well, and the best of health and look forward to meeting everyone in our exciting activities.

Dr Ting CHEN President

The Cultural Centre in Balcatta has been popular for community hirers.

Chung Wah Community Care | Branching Together

The past year has been the 38th anniversary of Chung Wah Community Care, providing support for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to live independently in their community. Over the years, our organisation has grown jointly with our community, branching together and working towards building a welcoming and inclusive community to empower our seniors and other clients to live better lives.

This year, we officially announced our new name and rebranding as “Chung Wah Community Care ( Chung Wah CC).” Aligned with our mission, “A Better Community for All”, we will expand our reach by providing high-quality care and support to more community members. Through collaboration and connection, we, Chung Wah CC, branch various communities, young and old, to support each other and create a better community for all.

Evergreen College

Focussing on individual client’s care needs, Chung Wah CC’s Evergreen College is a unique hub-based feature with great benefits for its participants. We are innovating ways to deliver our exercise class and brain games into our consumer’s homes. At Chung Wah CC, we are committed to promoting lifelong learning and development in our clients and encouraging them to participate in activities and fill their lives with new experiences.

Our Services

Despite the numerous challenges and changes in the aged care and disability sector and COVID-19’s significant impact, our strong team of staff (over 130), sharing similar convictions and passion, once again demonstrated their perseverance and adaptability to changes. They continuously deliver quality professional care for all our clients, which is clearly evidenced by the expansion of our service.

We have delivered a series of government-funded community care programs to more than 900 consumers in the Perth metro area in the past year. Most of our customers are from Chinese, Vietnamese, and other Asian communities, and over 95% do not speak English. However, Chung Wah CC has experienced growth in the provision of services to customers from the wider community.

Our customers are mainly ongoing and new care recipients or primary carers assisted under Home Care Packages (HCP), Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), WA Home and Community Care Program (HACC), and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The Aged and Community Care industry has experienced tremendous change in the last years, significantly impacting us as service providers and recipients of government funding.

Our Chung Wah CC Board- governance

In the past year, under the direction of our Board of Management, a series of measures have been adopted, including strategies, business plans, work structures, and staff training to adapt to the new requirements and changes with a view to the longterm sustainability of our services. Underpinning all the changes is upholding consumer rights and delivering a person-centered approach for a quality and safe service in compliance with the industry standards and requirements.

Training

Training is essential to equip our employees and volunteers with updated community and aged care knowledge and skills. Staff, support workers, and volunteers are continuously encouraged to attend inhouse and external work-related training to ensure they can deliver quality work at the front line of working with individual customers.

Our efforts in promoting “A Better Community for All” and delivering customer-centered care have also been acknowledged by the continuous growth in volunteer development. To date, Chung Wah CC has 216 registered volunteers who are actively involved and helping in various CC activities.

Chung Wah CC would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the support of the Chung Wah Executive Committee, President Ting CHEN and our Board of Management, our staff, volunteers, and all our consumers throughout the past year. If not for your belief in building “A Better Community for All” together, we would not be able to achieve such an excellent result.

Theresa KWOK JP Chief Executive Officer

多的社区人士提供高质量的服务。 通过合作与联系， 我们的服务在年轻和长者的社区里，开枝散叶，相互 支持，为大家创建美好社区。

长青学院

在社区中心，中华长青学院因其为参与者提供全 方位的益处而备受欢迎。目前，我们正在推进长青学 院进家庭，让顾客在家中也可以参加健身有益和脑力 游戏等项目。中华社区及长者服务认同并致力于推广 顾客的终身学习和发展，同时，鼓励他们积极参与各 种活动，体会不同的人生新经验。

我们的服务

面对养老和残障行业的巨大挑战及Covid-19的影 响，我们的员工团队（超过130人）拥有相同的信念和热 情，他们再次展示了面对变化的坚持和适应能力。我们 持续扩大的顾客规模就是员工们提供专业的高水准服 务的最好证明。

在过去一年中，我们持续地为超过900位来自多元文 化背景 的客户提供一系列由政府资助的社区服务项目， 范围覆盖珀斯整个都市区。我们绝大多数的客户来自华 人、越南及其他亚洲社区，超过95%来自非英语背景。与 此同时，我们也一直为来自其他社区的客户提供服务。.

这其中，大部分的客户及其主要照顾人使用的是熊猫 亚裔长者服务项目（Home Care Package），联邦政府居家 支持计划（Commonwealth Home Support Programme), 西澳家庭及社区服务项目（WA HACC）以及国家残障保险 计划（National Disability Insurance Scheme）

长者及社区服务行业在过去的一年发生了的巨大的 变化，我们作为社区及长者服务的提供机构及政府资助 的接受者也不可避免的受到了影响。

我们的管理委员会 - 机构管理

为了适应新环境，在 过去的一年，在管理委员会 （BoM）的领导下，我们制定 了一系列的措施，包括策略， 计划，结构重组及员工培训等， 以适应公司长期发展的需。所有的 改变都是以强调顾客权并提供顾客为 中心的服务模式为目标。

培训

培训不仅可以让我们的员工获得有关的知识和技 巧，这同样也适用于义工。所以，我们一直鼓励员工和 义工参加内部和外部的工作相关培训，以保证他们可以 在前线为顾客提供好的服务。

在发展义工的过程中，我们一直推广“为大家打造 更美好的社区”愿景及提供以人为本的服务。目前为止， 我们一共有注册义工216位，他们积极活跃在我们的各 项活动中。

籍此机会，中华社区服务向中华理事会，陈挺会 长，我们的管理委员会，全体员工、义工及所有顾客表 示真诚的感谢，感谢大家在过去一年里的支持。如果没 有大家对“为大家打造更美好社区”愿景的认同，我们不 可能取得这样的好成绩。

Chung Wah Radio Program 中华广东话广播

Providing the Chung Wah Radio Program is our means to reach out and engage with non-English speaking people in Western Australia. Last year, our Cantonese radio continued to be available at 10.00am every Saturday through 6EBA FM95.3, providing community information, sharing stories, enhancing health and wellbeing. Most importantly, non-English speaking people feel connected with the Australian Community through listening to our radio. We also welcome feedback and continue to work collaboratively with audiences to understand their needs.

Just like all Community Care programs and services, volunteers play an important role in our radio programme too. They are the pillars of the program. Up until now, we have built a team of nearly 20 bilingual volunteers who actively participate in the running of our radio programme, such as news collecting, editing, script writing and broadcasting. We are working hard to make sure every session is aired on time. In the past year, every program session was on time.

You can listen to our radio programs at the following channels: The Cantonese program: FM95.3 (every Saturday, 10.00am ~ 11.00am )

Theresa KWOK JP Chief Executive Officer

With all the paperwork done and having renewed the Development Approval and Building Permit for another two years until January 2024, time is running out for the Chung Wah Autumn Centre Board of Management. They have been working hard on strategies to raise as much funds as possible to at least get the project started. Some Fundraising Appeal emails were sent to some potential donors with some positive feedback. The Fundraising Appeal letter was also published in the Chung Wah Magazine in English and Chinese, thanks to Carl ONG and the Magazine publishing team. The publication of the Appeal Letter has helped raised greater awareness and understanding of the project, especially among the members. In July 2021, thanks to Trinh QUACH, who headed and organised the Chung Wah Choir Charity Concert, about $172,000 was raised.

There will be a Fundraising New Year’s Eve Dinner and Dance to be held on 31 December 2022. Thanks to Board member, Treasurer Leonard KHO, for organising the event.

Thank you to all the Board members for their support, and many thanks to Board member, Michael WU, for the Chinese translation of the email version of the Fundraising Appeal letter. A very special thank you to Board member, Jen Nie CHONG, Secretary of Chung Wah Autumn Centre, who had been of tremendous help to me these past seven years.

Doreen CHIN Chairperson

提供广播节目是我们与西澳大利亚 州非英语人士接触和互动的手段。去年， 每周六的上午10点钟，我们的粤语广播都 通过6EBA FM95.3频道播出，来提供社区 信息，分享故事，增强健康和福祉。最重 要的是，通过收听我们的电台节目，广大 非英语背景人士感觉到与澳大利亚社区 建立联系。

同时，我们聆听听众的反馈并继续与 受众合作，以了解他们的需求。

就像所有CAC其他服务一样，义工也 在我们的广播节目中发挥着重要作用。他 们是该计划的支柱。到目前为止，我们已 经建立了一支由近20名双语志愿者组成 的团队，他们积极参与我们广播的运行， 如新闻采集，编辑，剧本编写和广播等。

我们正在努力确保每次会议都按时 播出。在过去一年中，每个项目会议都准 时进行。您可以在以下的频道和时间段收 听我们的节目： 广东话：FM95.3（每周六上午10点钟至11点）

秋园董事会完成了所有的有关文件， 并将开发批准和建筑许可证在续期两年 直到2024年1月。时间有限，董事会一直 在努力制定策略以筹募尽可能多的资金 来启动秋园项目。

筹款呼吁信已经通过电邮发送给一 些潜在的捐助人士，并获得了一些积极的 反馈。感谢汪德泉和中华之声出版团队将 中英文版筹款呼吁信发表在中华之声。 呼吁信的发布有助于提高尤其是会员对 秋园项目的认识和理解。感谢洪淑贞在 2021年7月间主办了中华合唱团慈善音乐

Chung Wah Chinese School

Chung Wah Chinese School (CWCS) has five campuses. The campuses located in the south of the river are Leeming, Rossmoyne as well as Atwell; and the other two campuses are in Morley and Perth. Due to Perth Modern being unavailable for lease on a Saturday morning, lessons at the Perth campus are held in the afternoon, at a different time from the other four campuses. CWCS offers Chinese language teaching/learning from playgroup, prekindy, kindy, pre-primary, Year 1 to 12, HSK, WACE program and adult classes. At the end of term two, the total number of students enrolments for 2022 was 956. In addition to Chinese language, CWCS also offers extra-curricular activities in arts and crafts, Chinese cultural dance, Chinese musical instruments, Chinese singing, Chinese chess, diablo, drama, calligraphy, painting and drawing, sketching, abacus, performance arts, table tennis, badminton, and martial arts to supplement language learning and promote culture and sports.

Due to the pandemic, most of the teachers’ professional development was held online. However, CWCS was able to organise a professional development day that catered to all teaching staff of the five campuses prior to the start of the new year on 29 January 2022. Teachers and Principals attended a Professional Learning Program organised by Community Languages WA, as well as the Chinese Teachers Association WA (CLTAWA) throughout the year.

On 19 September 2021, all campuses participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival at Chung Wah Cultural Centre. Each school also celebrated Chinese New Year and the Dragon Boat Festival within their school community. CWCS was also involved in the Perth Chinese New Year Fair on 14 February 2022. CWCS students also achieved excellent results in off-campus Chinese talent competitions. The

events were the ‘My World’ Writing and Speaking competition, hosted by CLTAWA, poetry readings and the 2021 ‘CCCA’ speech competition.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Chung Wah Chinese Schools switched from face-to-face to online classes during term 1 week 6 to week 10. This change, together with the uncertainty and increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the community, caused over 60 students to withdraw from CWCS.

All CWCS staff attended a celebration dinner at the end of 2021 and five teachers received a Teacher of the Year Award.

Chung Wah Cultural Activities

Jen Nie CHONG

The Chung Wah Cultural groups have been going from strength to strength. The ever popular Lion dance team have been improving their skills in overseas training and are in high demand for their performances and our Chung Wah Orchestra has been organising the Guzheng Festival. Over the past year, there have been more opportunities for chinese cultural performances. Members have also returned with enthusiasm to participate in the weekly activities.

The Lion Dance team, Chinese Cultural Dance group and Chinese Orchestra all joined together to perform at the Stockland Shopping Centre in Bull Creek, Riverton and Harrisdale, Livingston Marketplace in Canning Vale, and Victoria Park Central Shopping Centres. The activities were held over five days of the 2022 Chinese New Year period. We also organised calligraphers, chinese face painting, lantern making, red packet crafts, roving characters such as God of Fortune and filled red packets for these events. All these events had additional COVID guidelines to keep everyone safe. Thank you very much to Tracy LIM, our Chung Wah admin and accounts staff for assisting to co-ordinate the chinese new year celebrations at the shopping centres.

Our Lion Dance team, Chinese Cultural Dance group, Chinese Orchestra, Choir and Cantonese Opera group performed at the Perth Chinese New Year Fair. The Lion Dance group and Chinese Cultural Dance group also performed at the Chung Wah Chinese New Year Ball. Our Chinese Cultural dancers, chinese orchestra, lion dance team and Women’s sub-committee were due to perform at the Perth Festival opening, but it was cancelled at the last minute due to COVID restrictions.

Thank you to all the Chung Wah Cultural group leaders and members for all their hard work over the past year.

Dragon and Lion Dance

Ben LIM

As the pandemic continues to kick into the year 2021 – 2022, this has not stopped Chung Wah Dragon and Lion Dance from continuing their training and performances. Of course, we did everything right to look after our troupe members and as well as following the state government COVID-19 restrictions. We have received lots of positive feedback from our existing and new clients for all our performances, which has resulted in bookings for the 2023 Lunar New Year.

Our team goal is to continue to perform traditional dragon and lion dances locally and anywhere within Western Australia regions such as Broome, Kalgoorlie, Northam, and so on. With the news of world dragon and lion activities resuming, nine team members will be traveling to Malaysia in September 2022 for advanced high pole training. The team is on the right track for the 2022 – 2023 goals.

Chinese Cultural Dance Jen Nie CHONG

The Chung Wah Dance group practises every Saturday afternoon at the Chung Wah Hall, Northbridge, with Min Zhu as the dance teacher/ choreographer. The group currently has 15 dancers. Members persevered doing classes during the pandemic, by wearing face masks and social distancing. Each two hour class consists of warm up, technique and choreography.

Performances during the year included: Perth Chinese New Year Fair, Chung Wah Chinese New Year Ball at Joondalup Resort, Chinese New Year Shopping Centre performances, Mid-Week Eats at

Home of The Chinese Community

Riverton Leisureplex and the Amana Living Staff Awards Ball at Crown. Dancers also assisted to be roving characters for Chinese New Year.

One of our dancers, Judy CHU filmed a short documentary on our dance group. Entitled ‘Sisters’, it was about eight women from different backgrounds coming together because of their love for dancing. Anyone who has a love for dancing, is welcome to join our class.

Music Director: Teresa TAN

Instrument Instructors: Cherry FU, Robin LUO, Audrey FANG , Yong Ai LOW, Mina Mao, Shutong LIU and Regina LAM

COVID-19 has been affecting the orchestra’s normal operation this year. Currently we have 23 members in the orchestra and 16 students in instrument classes. We have been promoting on Facebook, Instagram and Wechat.

New Vogue Group

Leonard KHO

The Chung Wah New Vogue Dance is coordinated by two groups of volunteers. They are Leonard KHO and Dong assisted by Evelyn CHIEW and Jessica respectively. The activity is held every Sunday from 1.30pm to 3.30pm.

The Second WA Chinese Guzheng FestivalFolk Music Concert was successfully held on 26 September 2021 at Hadley Hall at MLC and the Grand ensemble was held on 17 October 2021 at Confucius Institute at UWA. The co-organisers were Confucius Institute of UWA, Methodist Ladies’ College, HuaXing Art Group, Zing Music Studio and WA Guzheng Ensemble. Other participating schools were Christ Church Grammar School, Oberthur Primary School and Chung Wah Chinese School Leeming. We are proudly sponsored by AZ Invest Perth. There were about 113 players and 1,000 spectators in total. We raised $2,108 to donate to Breast Cancer Research Centre - WA.

We did a short video clip with Director Dean for his documentary in November 2021. We also did performances at Where Oceans Meet Charity Concert, World Music Cafe and Chinese New Year celebrations around Perth. We are planning for the Third WA Chinese Guzheng Festival in October 2022.

New Vogue dancing is based on a sequence of dance steps with a partner. Everyone is welcome to join the activity which is fun and provides healthy exercise for seniors. We collect $6 per person as entrance fee to join this activity. All collections are used to support the maintenance of Chung Wah Balcatta Cultural Centre.

During this financial year we have not organised any big functions due COVID-19 except for a Christmas in July dance and afternoon tea.

Line Dancing

Doreen CHIN

Since Chung Wah Line Dancing started in 2004, the activity is still going strong with many of the dancers, who joined the activity at the Balcatta Cultural Hall many years ago, still attending the weekend classes. It is a very proactive group, with occasional, sometimes impromptu jamming sessions, where dancers were encouraged to dress up. Recently Chung Wah line dancers celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival by eating mooncakes and some were dressed in traditional Chinese clothes for the occasion.

I would like to thank current Chung Wah line dancers for their many years of support, and in particular the many volunteers who assisted to keep the activity going during the COVID pandemic period. The dancers were supportive and understanding, especially by putting up with the strict rules to keep each other safe.

My grateful thanks to these special volunteers - Line Dancing Teacher, Lay Choo WONG, Phuong Hue QUACH and Lucy LEWIS - who gave their time to help me while I was busy with other tasks, especially with my Chung Wah Autumn Centre Short Term Respite Care project.

Choir Trinh QUACH

Choir Coach and Director: Yong Jun ZHOU Choir Pianist: Teresa TAN

Due to surging COVID-19 numbers in WA earlier in 2022, the Chung Wah Choir weekly practices were halted for two months from March to May. Choir practices resumed in May, though the number of attendees dropped to around twenty people per session. With the daily confirmed COVID cases slowly declining, we are sure our regular members will gradually return.

Table Tennis Maya FANG

The Chung Wah Table Tennis Group continued its weekly regular activity this year. While players’ interest might slightly be affected by the recurring pandemic, the table tennis group carried on its weekly activity while adhering to COVID-19 safety measures, ensuring participating players practised within a safe environment. It is hoped that the government of Western Australia will continue with the good pandemic measures and the Chung Wah Table Tennis Group will become more energetic when the situation is back to normal.

On 18 July 2021, Choir Leader, Trinh QUACH, organised a charitable Concert raising funds for the Chung Wah Autumn Centre. The two hour long concert was held at the Chung Wah Cultural Centre in Balcatta and a total of $171,240 was raised. The choir participated in a Chinese New Year Celebration for overseas chinese, on 22 January 2022, organised by the Hua Xing Arts group. They performed two songs outdoors at the Optus Stadium, with the Mu Lan dance troupe. Clips were sent to CCTV, which was broadcasted all over the world. At the Perth Chinese New Year Fair, the Chung Wah Choir performed two finale songs for the Multicutural Concert at the Perth Museum City Room.

Chung Wah Association Historical Group

- Kaylene POON 邝彩玲

The annual Heritage Perth Weekend in April saw Chung Wah open its doors on a Saturday, however the change did not result in greater visitation numbers. Next year the event will be over the month, so hopefully activities will be spread more evenly.

The one major project this year involved the Chinese burials exhumed from East Perth Pioneer Cemetery over the past two years. The Chinese community were instrumental in preserving a jacket, which was found around a Chinese person, which dates back to the 1890s. The National Trust enlisted the assistance of the Association to develop an audio tour for visitors, as well as provide design layout and Chinese text for an exhibition curated by the Trust entitled ‘Beneath the Bitumen’. After a short display at the Cemetery in June the exhibition was moved to the National Archives in Northbridge until the end of October. As a result of this collaboration I have been presenting talks, as well as conducting research to uncover more about the burials.

There is a steady stream of inquiries relating to family history and Kaylene presented several talks, as well as a new Northbridge walking tour entitled ‘Champions and Chameleons’ about some of the early Chinese in Northbridge.

The Association is undertaking a review of the Conservation Plan for the James Street Hall as the existing plan is now over 20 years old.

Whilst interest has been expressed to join the group there is an urgent need to tackle the backlog of photographs, documents and ephemera in the collection. Some computer experience would be required for these roles.

A new project seeking volunteers to assist, is to research the history of Chinese restaurants in WA. This is a long-term project with assistance required to conduct interviews in English and/or Chinese, as well as spending time at the State Library going through old newspapers, etc. No special skills required but an interest in people and history.

With COVID related restrictions easing there has been interest in school visits to the James Street Hall resuming, so we are keen for more volunteers who can impart their knowledge of Chinese culture, such as use of the abacus, chopsticks, Chinese chess, tai chi to name a few.

If you feel you can spare some time and would like to be involved in any of these pursuits, please contact the CWA Office for further information.

4月的一年一度的珀斯历史遗产周，中华会馆开 放日设在周六，不过这一变化并没有带来更多的参观 人数。明年的活动将为期一个月，希望能够扩展更多 活动。

今年的一个重大项目涉及过去两年从东珀斯先驱 公墓挖掘出的华人墓葬。从中发现的华人的夹克文物 在华人社区的存在可以追溯到1890年代方面在发挥 了重要作用。国民信托在中华会馆的协助下，为参观 者开发了语音导览，并为信托策划的题为“沥青之下” 的展览提供设计布局和中文文本。6月在公墓短暂展 出后，展览被移至北桥的国家档案馆，直到10月底。

由于这次合作，我一直在进行演讲，并进行研究以发 现更多关于墓葬的信息。

有关家族史的询问源源不断，邝彩玲 进行了几次会 谈，以及一个新的北桥徒步旅行，题为“冠军和变色龙”， 讲述北桥的一些早期华人的历史故事。

中华会馆正在对詹姆斯街会馆礼堂的保护计划 进行审查，因为现有计划已超过 20 年。

虽然有些人已经表达了加入该小组的兴趣，但我 们迫切需要解决收藏中照片、和文件等的积压问题。 这些任务需要一些有计算机经验的人参与。

一个寻求志愿者协助的新项目是研究西澳中餐 馆的历史。这是一个长期项目，需要协助进行英文 和/或中文采访，以及花时间在国家图书馆翻阅旧报 纸等。不需要特殊技能，但需要对人和历史感兴趣。

随着COVID相关限制的放宽，学校的人对恢复到 詹姆斯街中华会馆礼堂参观感兴趣，所以我们渴望 更多的志愿者能够传授他们对中国文化的知识，例如 使用算盘、筷子、中国象棋、太极拳等。

如果您觉得您可以抽出一些时间并希望参与其 中任何一项活动，请联系中华会馆办公室以获取更 多信息。

Women’s Subcommittee

The Womens Subcommittee conducts social activities every Saturday from 11.00am to 1.30pm. Since March 2021, we have engaged a wonderful teacher, Ms. Min Zhu to teach several beautiful dances. Now this group’s focus and purpose is to improve the group’s dancing skills and produce quality dances for community events and celebrations. After more than a year’s training by a professional dancing teacher, our quality of dances has earned this team a good reputation and has attracted more women to join in.

This year the Chung Wah Women Subcommittee have participated in these community and cultural events:

1. Chung Wah Chinese New Year Fair: we participated in the afternoon cultural show and some of our members also joined Chung Wah Dance Group to perform in the evening multicultural concert.

2. Australia Day Multicultural Dance performance jointly organised by Chung Wah and Chinese Dance Australia.

3. In January and February this year we performed cultural dances for the City of Canning for Chinese New Year celebrations and Seniors Week and for the Amherst Village community centre, organised by the Multicultural Community Council of WA.

4. In April this year, we performed some dances to support Mr Sam LIM in his election campaign.

The Chung Wah Womens Subcommittee will continue to take part in and support all community events and functions organised by the Chung Wah Association, local government and other community organisations.

Jiping ZOU

Youth Subcommittee

In 2021 the Chung Wah Youth Group continued their weekly badminton program for the remainder of the calendar year. At the same time, they organised more joint networking events with the Western Australia Chinese Chamber of Commerce (WACCC).

Despite travel restrictions and inconveniences caused by the pandemic, generally it had been a good year for most of the youth we talked to. The job market was good for young people to advance their career. Many had the option to work from home, and with the extra time on their hands, some took on more self-learning too, to plan for the future.

In 2022, the CWA Youth Group will carry on the weekly badminton program and the joint networking events with the WACCC. We look forward to more of the younger generation joining and engaging with us.

Analysis on Statement of Profit or Loss Statement

Revenue

The overall revenue of the Chung Wah Association was $13,721,054, while the Chung Wah Community Care (CWCC) revenue for the financial year was $12,341,667, accounting for 90 percent of the Chung Wah Association’s total revenue. The increase in CWCC’s revenue was mainly due to business expansion, cost savings and more welfare revenue from the government-funded system.

Revenue from association services rose more than 3 percent this year to $761,404. This is mainly attributable to the government’s funding for

some capital works of the Association, and the increase of the income from each cultural group of the Association. Fundraising activities and social sponsorship also contributed to the increase in income.

Chung Wah Chinese school saw a 10 percent drop in revenue from last year to just $617,983. The loss of students due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for investment in two new schools are the direct reasons for the decline in income.

Income Surplus

Chung Wah Association posted an operating surplus of $955,194, an increase of 22 per cent compared to the 2021 annual surplus of $785,430.

CWCC’s surplus this year was $845,408, a 26 per cent increase from the previous year’s surplus of $672,316. The continuous growth of CWCC’s earnings is inseparable from a leadership team with advanced management concepts and a harmonious and enterprising team.

Association Services has turned a profit this year, from a deficit of $7,061 compared to last year to a surplus of $75,638 this year. It’s a welcome turnaround. Although the membership income

and rental income have not increased much, the government’s grant for capital works of the Association and the cultural activity income of the Chung Wah cultural groups have also increased significantly, especially our lion dance team, which has become a very strong influential team in Western Australia.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic this year, Chung Wah Chinese schools recorded a surplus of $34,148 only, a decrease of 72% compared to last year’s surplus of $120,175. The decrease in student numbers has directly led to a reduction in government funding, while investment in new schools has increased spending.

Home of The Chinese Community Analysis on Statement of Financial Position

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 30, 2022, CWCC had total cash and cash equivalents of $6,477,848, representing 80% of Chung Wah Association’s total cash and cash equivalents of $8,064,809. Cash and cash equivalents at CWCC and Association Services are down 16% and 14% respectively, but Chinese schools are up 46% this year.

Net Assets

Property, plant and equipment

The Association Services main assets are land and buildings in James Street and Balcatta. The Chinese schools main assets are computers, office equipment and storage. The CWCW assets are motor vehicles used for transporting clients, office equipment, fixtures and fittings.

As of 30 June 2022, Chung Wah Association had total net assets of $13,836,034, an increase of 7% from last year’s $12,880,840.

I would like to thank John FOLAN, CWCC Senior Manager (Finance/HR/Admin), Lesley WONG, Project Co-ordinator and Administration Officer and Tracy LIM, Administration and Accounts Officer for their hard work and assistance throughout the year.

Ke Mei SHAO Honorary Treasurer

截至2022年6月30日止年度，中华会馆的营运盈余为$955,194澳元，与2021年盈余的$785,730澳元相比增长 了22%。中华会馆的良好表现首先是得益于政府对中华会馆的支持以及全体会员及各事业部管理团队的努力。

整个中华会馆收入为$13,721,054澳元，比上年的$11,842,045澳元增长16%。收入增长可归因于多种因素。良 好的CAC养老管理体系，政府资助及福利的增加，社团文化活动收入的增加，服务成本的降低。

中华的净资产稳步增长，而现金和现金等价物今年下降了 13%。

综合损益表分析

收入

整个中华会馆的收入为$13,721,054澳元，而中华 社区服务本财年的收入为$12,341,667澳元，占中华会 馆总收入的90%。中华社区服务的收入增加主要是由 于业务扩张，开源节流和更多来自政府资助系统的福 利收入。

协会服务的收入今年增长了3%以上，达到 $761,404澳元。这主要得益于政府对会馆一些基建项 目的拨款、会馆各文化发展组的文化活动收入的增加， 筹款活动和社会赞助也为收入的增加做出了贡献。

中华中文学校的收入较去年减少了10%，仅为 $617,983澳元。疫情导致的生源流失以及两所新学校 的投资需求是收入减少的直接原因。

收入盈余

中华会馆的营运盈余为$955,194元，与2021的年 盈余$785,430澳元相比，增加了22%。

中华社区服务 今年的盈余为$845，408澳元，比 上一年盈余的$672,316澳元的增加了26%。CWCC盈 余的持续增长离不开一个拥有先进的管理理念的领 导班子和和谐进取的团队。

协会服务今年扭亏为盈，从与去年的$7，061澳元 的赤字过度到今年的$75,638澳元盈余.这是一个可喜 的转变。虽然会员收入和租金收入并没有增加多少， 但政府对会馆基础设施建设的资助，会馆各分社团的 文化活动收入也有了明显的增加尤其是我们的舞狮 队，已成为一支在西澳非常有影响力的团队。

今年华校因疫情影响，录得盈余$34,148澳元， 与去年的盈余$120,175澳元相比，减少了72%。生源流 失直接导致了政府资助的减少，而对新学校的投资也 加大了支出。

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial report, being a general purpose financial report of The Chung Wah Association Inc. (the “Association”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the Executive Committee’s declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying general purpose financial report of The Chung Wah Association Inc is in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, including:

(a) giving a true and fair view of the Association’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its performance for the year then ended; and

(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional requirements in Australia

Inherent Uncertainty Regarding Recognition of Income

It is not possible for The Chung Wah Association Inc. to establish accounting control over all sources of income prior to its receipts (fundraising and rendering of services, income from schools, Chinese New Year, membership fees and other income) and accordingly, it is not possible for our examination to include audit procedures to extend beyond the amounts of receipts for these types of income as recorded in the records of the Association.

Our audit of the type of income referred to above, being income in the form of cash, and the accounting for and applications of such monies was limited to amounts recorded in the financial report.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, which has been given to the Executive Committee of the Association, would be in the same terms if given to the members as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of the Executive Committee for the Financial Report

The Executive Committee of the Association are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 and for such internal control as the Executive Committee determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the Executive Committee are responsible for assessing the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Executive Committee either intend to liquidate the Association or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Executive Committee are responsible for overseeing the Association’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered mate rial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, for gery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Association’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Executive Committee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt

the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Association to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Executive Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
