Who We Are
Trinh Foundation Australia (TFA) was established in 2008 as a voluntary, non-profit, non-government organisation dedicated to helping the people of Vietnam establish Speech Therapy as a profession in their country.
TFA is governed by our board of Directors who, along with the support of our volunteers, are committed to improving the quality of life of Vietnamese people with communication and swallowing disorders. Each member of the board brings extensive professional experience and expertise from a variety of backgrounds to achieve our organisational goals.
Our sources of funding are from grants, fund-raising activities, philanthropic donations and collaboration with other Australian aid organisations. The directors and the secretary are fully self-funded in all their activities associated with Trinh Foundation Australia.
Trinh Foundation Australia Ltd abides by the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) Code of Conduct, which provides standards on management, communication with the public and, most importantly, how funds are spent.

Trinh Foundation Australia is registered with the Australian Government Charities and Not-for-profit Commission, having received the Registered Charity tick. Please email info@trinhfoundation.org to request a consolidated financial statement from the Secretary. |
