On 19 November 2023, I joined the Premier of NSW the Hon Chris Minns and my Parliamentary colleague Jason Yat-Sen Li Member for Strathfield in attending the Asian Women at Work 2023 Annual General Meeting. This organisation serves the community in many ways, including providing English classes, workplace outreach, support groups, seminars, telephone information, referrals, advocacy and others. Many of these women were refugees or newly arrived migrants. They have gone through a lot to get here, and many continue to bear most of the burden of work at home. I understand that next year it would be 30th year anniversary since the establishment of Asian Women at Work. I congratulate them for this achievement. I understand Bich Thuy Pham has been in this organisation as a community worker and coordinator for the past 22 years. I thank Bich Thuy Pham and Ronnie Wang for their kind invitation to this event. I also would like to congratulate all the current and past Executive Committee members for their wonderful work.
