President’s Message Dear Members,

2023 is the year we resume everyday life, as the WHO chief declares the end to COVID-19 as a global health emergency. First of all, we would like to congratulate Mrs Theresa KWOK JP, the CEO of Chung Wah Community Care, who was awarded the 2023 Senior Western Australian of the Year during a special ceremony held at the at WA Government House on 14 November 2022. Theresa’s vast experience in social work and persistent strive for the welfare of CaLD seniors for the past 40 years since she migrated from Hong Kong in the 1980s. The Chung Wah Association is grateful and genuinely proud of her services and achievements. In celebration of the 50-year bilateral relationship between Australia and China, the Chung Wah Association has led in organising a Gala Concert at the State Theatre. It was a feast of arts of stage performance that consisted of music and dance. We are grateful for the support from cultural groups and local artists who have made the events successful. The year started with a bang with the 2023 Perth Chinese New Year Fair, and we managed to expand our reach to Yagan Square, with the help of Development WA. The City of Perth, Office of Multicultural Interests and LotteryWest continued their support to let us bring the fair back to James Street. The grand event has again attracted more than 30,000 attendees from the community. With the support from all community groups, the long-awaited street parade won the hearts of everyone. We are indeed grateful towards the support of our sponsors and volunteers to achieve another year of success. The Chung Wah Chinese New Year Dinner and Dance was the highlight of the social calendar. This year we again we again held the event successfully at the Joondalup Resorts on a grand scale. Special mention to Senior Vice President, Yudy KODRAJAYA and his team, who work hard to ensure the event’s success. Chung Wah Association is grateful towards the organising team and staff, the sponsors, and supporters from the community, including our volunteers, who indeed enjoyed this social event to the fullest. An EGM was held on 12 March 2023, marking a milestone in the history of the Association. The members supported the motion of the acquisition of of a parcel of land at Bentley to build the Chung Wah Community Centre in the South of River. The project is funded by $5 million from the state government and $1.75 million from the Federal government. On 5 August, the Honorable Roger Cook MLA, the Premier of Western Australian announced to transfer a piece of land at Bentley to Chung Wah Association, witnessed by the Honorable Tony Buti MLA, other members of Parliaments and Chinese community members. Premier Cook said in his address during the

Dr Ting CHEN President 4 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

ceremony, with the new facilities, Chung Wah would be able to help more people in the community and WA Labor government were delivering on their commitment. The WA Government has played a significant role in securing the funding and seeking a suitable location for the building. Not to mention the full support from the Chinese community members who will benefit from this, we are deeply grateful and excited about this project. Chung Wah will pay $1 for the land with conditional use. Soon after the ceremony, we appointed Encon, a project management company to coordinate. Chung Wah Association has been involved actively in the advocacy for the CaLD groups in Western Australia. We have attended the Multicultural Framework Review and contributed our feedback towards the formulation of the framework. Our committee member, Ms LeChun ZHANG attended the session on the association’s behalf. It is essential to earn a voice in the multicultural society of WA, and of a carefully planned framework to ensure our rights are safeguarded. With the help of John HSU from the Chinese Association of WA, we paid our respects to the pioneers before us at the Karrakatta Cemetery in April. During the visit, We laid a wreath on the grave site of our first president, Luey Wah, to mark our commemoration of him. The Dragon Boat Festival this year was celebrated with a fun session of children’s dragon boat races at the Balcatta Culture Centre. This creative event allowed the young participants to put together cardboard dragon boats and race with them. We also held the annual Mid-Autumn Festival celebration under the leadership of Chung Wah Chinese School. It is essential to pass on our heritage through creative activity, not only to promote parent-children interaction but also to immerse ourselves in learning about the history and customs of the festival. Not to mention the chance to taste the exquisite handmade rice dumplings or mooncakes as part of the festival ritual. Chung Wah Association bears the responsibility to connect the ethnic and cultural roots. Before concluding my address, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support of my fellow Executive Committee members, staff and volunteers, who have put forward unconditional efforts to ensure the smooth running of all projects. I also appreciate the support from our annual sponsors, Murdoch University, SBS, Norton Goldfield and Global Lithium. As the peak body of the Chinese Community, the Chung Wah Association has a rich history set in examples of how a united community can earn respect and support from its community. Everyone has praised our work promoting social cohesion and celebrating cultural diversity. My team and I wish you well and look forward to another successful year.

会长的话亲爱的会员们

2023年是我们恢复日常生活的一年，世界卫生组织总干事宣布新冠肺炎(COVID-19)作为全球卫生紧急事件的结束。首先，我们要祝贺中华社区服务的行政总裁郭郑素雯太平绅士于2022年11月14日在西澳总督府举行的特别颁奖典礼上荣获2023年西澳年度长者奖。她自20世纪80年代从香港移居以来，四十多年来一直致力于社会工作，并为文化与语言多元老年人的福利而不懈努力。中华会馆对她的服务和成就表示感谢并由衷地感到自豪。为庆祝澳大利亚与中国建交50周年，中华会馆牵头在西澳州剧院举办了一场盛大音乐会。这是一场由音乐、舞蹈组成的舞台表演艺术盛宴。我们感谢文化团体和当地艺术家的支持，是他们使活动取得了成功。 2023年珀斯中华新年文化节拉开了中国新年的序幕，在西澳发展局的帮助下，我们成功将业务范围扩大到了亚甘广场。珀斯市府和OMI继续支持中华会馆将文化节带回詹姆斯街。盛大的活动再次吸引了社会各界超过30,000人参加。在各社区团体的支持下，期待已久的街头游行赢得了大家的心。我们确实感谢赞助商和志愿者的支持，让我们又一次取得成功。中华新年晚宴与舞会一直是社交日历上的重头戏。今年我们再次在Joondalup Resorts成功举办了规模宏大的活动。特别值得一提的是高级副会长许俊豪和他的团队，他们为确保活动的成功而付出了辛勤的努力。中华会馆衷心感谢筹办团队及员工、赞助商、以及社会各界的支持者，包括我们的义工，他们确实非常享受这次社交活动。 2023年3月12日举行了一次特别会员大会，标志着会馆历史上的一个里程碑。会员支持在Bentley购买一块近7000平方米的土地用于兴建南部的中华社区中心的议案。该项目得到州政府500万澳元和联邦政府175万澳元资助。 8月5日，由西澳州州长 Roger Cook、部长Tony Buti 在其他议员和华社的成员见证下宣布将一块位于 Bentley的土地转让给中华会馆。州长Roger Cook在仪式上致辞时表示，凭借新设施，中华会馆将帮助更

多社区民众，西澳工党政府正在兑现承诺。西澳政府在获得资金和寻找合适的建筑地点方面发挥了重要作用。更不用说从中受益的华人社区成员的全力支持，我们对这个项目深表感谢和兴奋。中华会馆将支付1澳元购买有条件使用的土地。仪式结束后不久，我们任命了项目管理公司Encon进行项目的协调。中华会馆一直积极参与西澳大利亚文化与语言多元团体的宣传工作。我们参加了多元文化框架审查，并为框架的制定提供了反馈。理事会成员张乐春女士代表会馆出席了会议。在西澳的多元文化社会中赢得发言权，以及精心规划的框架以确保我们的权利得到保障至关重要。在西澳华人公会许锡忠太平绅士的帮助下，我们于四月份在卡拉卡塔公墓向我们的先驱者致敬。访问期间，我们向首任会长雷华的墓地敬献花圈，以纪念他。今年的端午节，巴尔卡塔文化中心举办了一场有趣的儿童龙舟比赛。这次创意活动让年轻的参与者们拼出纸龙舟并与龙舟赛跑。我们还在中华中文学校的领导下举办了一年一度的中秋庆祝活动。通过创意活动传承传统，不仅可以促进亲子互动，还可以让我们沉浸在了解节日的历史和习俗中。更不用说作为节日仪式的一部分，有机会品尝精美的手工粽子或月饼了。中华会馆肩负着连接民族文化根源的责任。在结束发言之前，我谨对各位执行委员会成员、工作人员和志愿者的支持表示衷心感谢，他们为确保所有项目的顺利进行做出了无条件的努力。我还要感谢我们的年度赞助商默多克大学、SBS、紫金偌顿金矿和环球锂业的支持。作为华人社区的最高机构，中华会馆有着丰富的历史，为团结的社区如何赢得社区的尊重和支持树立了榜样。每个人都赞扬我们促进社会凝聚力和庆祝文化多样性所做的工作。我和我的团队祝您一切顺利，并期待又一个成功的一年。

6 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

This year Chung Wah was a recipient of the Community Support Fund (CSF) from the Office of Multicultural Interests. The CSF provides triennial funding to not-for-profit culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) community peak umbrella associations based in Western Australia to deliver coordination, advocacy and support services to their member associations and community members. During the last financial year, Chung Wah organised a Speech and Language seminar as well as a Childrens Dragon Boat Festival.

Facilities

The Chung Wah office is responsible for organising repairs and maintenance of the Chung Wah properties, which includes the Community Hall in Northbridge and the Cultural Centre in Balcatta, as well as the rental restaurants downstairs of Chung Wah Hall. This year's repairs and maintenance expenses were particularly high. We are grateful to the Line Dance and New Vogue Groups for paying for the $28,663.25 repair of the Balcatta wooden floor. Thank you also to Chung Wah Community Care for funding the replacement of the Cultural Centre air cooling system.

Volunteers

Volunteers are an incredible part of the Association, which also includes our committee members. We held a Volunteers Team Building event, which for the first time in a long time, involved members from all parts of the Chung Wah family. Everyone enjoyed lunch, quizzes and games. Thank you also to our regular volunteers Dena, Nita, Patricia, Gaik and Jia Lin.

Administration Team

Our team consists of three part time staff, Tracy LIM, Sophie WANG and Rosetine SEW. This year, Lesley WONG left Chung Wah after nearly seven years of working for the Association. She has organised six Chinese New Year Fairs which included the challenging task of moving locations from James Street to the Perth Cultural Centre and back to James Street again, as well as enduring COVID lockdowns and not knowing if the fair would be able to go ahead. We thank her for her dedication to Chung Wah ! We welcomed Rosetine to the team, who has a background in Marketing and her passion for Chinese Culture in the community is a welcome asset to the team. Sophie has also joined us this year and has quickly learnt administration and membership processing as well as assisting with the Balcatta Cultural Centre maintenance. Tracy will be going on maternity leave in December, she will be sorely missed as our most experienced staff member. I would also like to thank Honorary Administrator, Ms. Doreen CHIN for her help and guidance throughout the year as well as Michael WU, our Exco member for assisting to send out membership notices. Our Chung Wah historical export Kaylene POON has continued to assist with historical queries and organising school cultural excursions at the Chung Wah Hall. I have much to learn from her. Jeffrey CHA, Chief Editor and Carl ONG, Executive Editor produce the Chung Wah magazine, every quarter. Their invaluable contributions are greatly appreciated. My sincere thanks to all of the administration team ! We look forward to an exciting and busy year ahead with the Chung Wah Community Centre Building project. Thank you all for your support.

我要感谢荣誉行政主任陈清灵女士一贯的协助和引领，以及吴立方委员在会员信息发布上的协助。会馆历史组顾问邝彩玲在支援历史提问上的应对和安排学校参观事项上的专业、让我获益良多。《中华之声》杂志主编查绍翰和执行主编卡尔一如既往对于杂志出版的尽心尽力。感谢大家的努力付出、真心为我们的行政团队点赞！我们期待明年班特利中华社区中心的建设，这将会是很忙且精彩的一年。感谢大家的支持！

Chung Wah Community Care Embrace, Elevate and Flourish

ver the past year, we have continued to improve the quality of life for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to live independently in their communities. We have also embraced new talents in our ranks and jointly elevated our standards to a new height, as we set our sights towards a thriving community that is inclusive and supportive of all. Through forging new partnerships with governmental and community bodies, we’ve enhanced our care services, ensuring easier access to support and information. This success is credited to our management board, the Chung Wah CC team, and the unyielding efforts of our staff, support workers, and volunteers.

Celebrating Our Achievements

Our Growth and Commitment: We’ve achieved a significant 14.10% growth, bringing our client base to 906. With a workforce reaching a milestone of 150, our team bolstered their skills with over 2,000 training hours. Our 60 indispensable volunteers remain central to our mission. Quality Assurance: Our enriched Quality Management System upholds our commitment to the best care. We’ve achieved compliance with all eight Aged Care Quality Standards, a commendable feat achieved by a limited cohort in the aged care sector, as confirmed by a rigorous three-day audit at our Northbridge, Balcatta, and Willetton community hubs. Digital Leap: Our updated website is live, and in October 2023, Chung Wah CC Radio will transition exclusively to YouTube.

10 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

Expanding Our Services to CaLD and Wider Communities

EnCompass: Supported by FECCA, EnCOMPASS, alongside Chung Wah CC and 21 other partners, delivers culturally apt aged care solutions. From June 2021 to March 2023, this team organised 40+ seminars and assisted over 350 individuals with one-on-one application support. New Initiatives & Collaboration: We’ve launched the Carer Gateway, care finder, and ELDAC programs, each with distinct goals and benefits. Besides, our alliances with dementia care entities and palliative care specialists have refined our community hub talks.

Gratitude and Looking Ahead…

Chung Wah CC extends heartfelt thanks to our Executive Committee, President Ting CHEN, Board of Management, staff, volunteers, and consumers. Your commitment has catalysed our transformative year, keeping the vision of “A Better Community for All” alive. Here’s to shared goals and a promising future.

Chung Wah Cultural Activities Jen Nie CHONG Chung Wah Association Vision: Through promoting Harmony, preserving our Heritage and practising Humanity, we serve as the bridge between the Chinese community and the broader society.

Dragon and Lion Dance Freddy FOO Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the troupe members for their commitment, support, and perseverance for the performance during the Chinese New Year 2023 and actively promoting Chinese culture within the Western Australian community.

The Chung Wah Cultural groups do an excellent job every year in preserving our Heritage and passing it on to future generations. Most groups practise at least once a week and do countless number of performances throughout the year, the busiest period being Chinese New Year. This past year, there has been an increase in requests for Chung Wah to provide interactive cultural activities and chinese decorations. Over Chinese New Year, we provided Cultural performances including Lion Dance, Chinese Cultural Dance and Chinese Orchestra and cultural activities to: Stockland Shopping Centre in Riverton and Harrisdale, Livingston Marketplace in Canning Vale, Victoria Park Central Shopping Centres, and Nedlands Ray White Lunar New Year celebrations. The cultural activities included calligraphers, chinese face painting, lantern making, red packet crafts and roving characters such as God of Fortune handing out filled red packets. We also hosted Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations at Stockland Bull Creek as well as provided Dragon Boat and Dragon Puppet craft activities at the Around the World event at Stockland Harrisdale. Jen Nie has also organised cultural performances and decorations for the Oberthur Primary School Immersion Programme 10th Anniversary Celebrations, including a dragon dance, lion dance and a finale of chinese cultural dance. It has certainly been a busy year for our Cultural ambassadors.Thank you to all the Chung Wah Cultural group leaders and members for all their hard work over the past year. 14 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

With the border re-opening last year, we have participated in three overseas competitions. It was an amazing experience to see our young energetic core group demonstrate dedication, determination and resilience with the amount of hard work put in during the challenging pandemic period. These overseas competitions not only provide a platform for the team to demonstrate the skills but also offer an invaluable opportunity for cultural exchange and networking. By engaging with lion dance troupes from different countries, we have expanded our horizons, learned from diverse styles, and strengthened our connections in the lion dance community. The connections made during this event can be invaluable for future collaborations and opportunities.

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.

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.

Choir Coach and Director: Mr ZHOU Yong Jun

During this financial year 2022/2023 the number of dancers attending this New Vogue activity has decreased drastically. We hope to have more participants join this healthy activity. Everyone is welcome to join.. We collect $6 per person as an 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 organised a New Years Eve Dinner and Dance party with about 100 people attending the function. We also held a Christmas in July dance and a Christmas Dance with afternoon tea. We also celebrated Father's Day with afternoon tea.

Choir Pianist: Mrs Teresa TAN

The Chung Wah Choir, led by Ms Trinh QUACH, and coached by Mr ZHOU Yong Jun, is proudly entering it’s sixth year. We believe singing is great for our physical and mental health. Our mission is to encourage people to enjoy singing, and our vision is to promote Chinese cultural arts in the form of singing to the world. Our choir has about 40 members, mostly middleaged, and some elderly people. We practise every Sunday 2.30pm to 4.30pm, at the Salvation Army Building, William Street, Perth. We welcome everyone, especially men, who love singing, to join us. While we were under the cloud of COVID during 2022 up to March 2023, we still managed to take part in four performances: 10/12/22 The 50th anniversary of AustraliaChina Diplomatic Relations Concert at the State Theatre Centre, Perth. 25/12/23 Christmas Celebration at the Faith Community Church 29/01/23 Perth Chinese New Year Fair at Northbridge Piazza

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. Chung Wah Line Dancing Group and Chung Wah New Vogue jointly funded the renovation and maintenance of Chung Wah Balcatta Hall floor and stage at a cost of $28,663.25 in September 2023. I would like to thank current Chung Wah line dancers for their many years of support. 16 | The Chung Wah Association Inc. - Annual Report 2022-2023

During 2023, the Chung Wah Table Tennis team has welcomed table tennis fans every Sunday afternoon. At the beginning of this year, with the support of Chung Wah Association Exco members, office staff and cooperation of table tennis fans and other associations, the Chung Wah Table Tennis group held the Western Australia International Table Tennis Friendship Tournament to celebrate Australia Day. Many table tennis clubs in WA were invited to participate in the competition and the Chung Wah table tennis team was the most outstanding in the competition.

The Chung Wah Tai Chi Class is open for enrolment for all age groups and weekly classes are held at Chung Wah Hall, on James Street, Northbridge. The class term commenced in July 2022, consisting of ten-week lessons, with Master HE Chang Dai as instructor of the class. Students learn foundation skills of Tai Ji, including 13 form and 24 form, pushing hand and meditation from a renowned master of martial arts.

After the competition, Mulan Association, Chung Wah Choir and the Little Spaceship Dance School presented wonderful performances. The brilliant performances received much applause. A buffet of food was provided to participants. This event enabled a deeper understanding of Chinese Culture. We will continue to enhance the fellowship and provide a healthy lifestyle to the community.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise which became popular in Western society as it brings strong health benefits to all practitioners and it represents oriental philosophy of martial arts. We will continue our promotion of Chung Wah Tai Chi Class in the hope that more and more people will join the class and reap huge health benefits out of it.

Historical Group 历史组 Another busy year of promoting the Chinese story in WA, answering queries and presenting talks about the early Chinese, in a variety of formats. In December 2022 the Chung Wah Hall was used as one of the locations for a short film entitled ‘The Rules of Mahjong”. I was one of a group of people shown in the film, which was one of five short films commissioned by the State Library of WA in collaboration with Screen West and LotteryWest. All the films were launched in August 2023 and can be viewed on the Library’s website. Visitors to the old East Perth Cemetery can now add an audio element to a tour with a short segment about the Chinese burials which I presented for the National Trust (WA). In July The West Australian Newspapers celebrated 190 years of publication. They selected 21 people to be interviewed about events and memories of WA’s history. I was selected as the only Asian, and spoke about growing up in Northbridge among the few remaining early Chinese in Perth. Currently I am liaising with the Northern Territory Chung Wah Society regarding the return of a temple urn which was ‘salvaged’ by an Australian air force personnel, during the bombing of Darwin in 1942. It was donated to the Perth Chung Wah Association in the 1994. Before the urn can be returned it requires some professional conservation work. I will keep the community upto-date with it’s progress. The aim is to return the urn to the NT around September 2024 while there is a conference to discuss Northern Australian Chinese history. Closer to home there are a couple of important projects which require volunteers who can preferably speak Cantonese. Karrakatta Cemetery is keen to translate some old Chinese head-stones which have very little or no English carved on them. This project involves photographing each headstone and then adding it to a document template with the added translated script. The other project is interviewing mostly past Chinese restaurant owners and capturing their stories for the archives. We are also keen to collect photographs of the restaurants and customers enjoying meals, old menus or other ephemera (e.g. business cards, calendars, advertising materials). In 2029 the state turns 200 and Chung Wah will be 120 years. Any information we can gather about our Chinese history prior to these important events will add to the state’s cultural and social history. For further information please contact the Chung Wah Office or email to history@chungwah.org.au. Help us preserve our history and keep it for future generations of Australians.

今年又是在西澳推广华人故事的忙碌一年，以各种形式回答问题并发表有关早期华人人的演讲。 2022年12月，中华会馆被用作短片《麻将规则》的拍摄地之一。我以说故事人的参与了这部微电影，这是西澳州立图书馆委托与 Screen West 和 LotteryWest 合作制作的五部短片之一。影片发布于2023年8 月，现可透过图书馆网站观看。参观旧东珀斯公墓的游客现在可以在游览中收听音频，其中包含我为国民信托基金会（WA）展示的有关华人墓葬的简短片段。7 月，西澳大利亚人报庆祝创刊190 周年。他们选择了 21 人接受采访，内容涉及西澳历史事件和记忆。我作为唯一的亚裔代表，我叙述了少数早期华人在北桥长大的经历。目前，我正在与北领地中华会就归还一个寺庙骨灰盒事宜进行联络，该骨灰盒是澳大利亚空军人员在 1942年达尔文轰炸期间寻获的。并于1994年转交于中华会馆。在归还之前，还需要进行一些专业的保护工作。我将向社区通报最新进展。目标是在2024 年9月左右将该骨灰盒送回北领地，同时召开会议讨论北澳大利亚华人历史。言归正传，有几个重要的项目需要懂粤语的志愿者。卡拉卡塔公墓致力于翻译华人古墓碑，这些墓碑上刻有很少或根本没有英文。该项目涉及拍摄每个墓碑，然后将其添加到带有添加的翻译脚本的文档模板中。另一项目是采访过去的中餐馆老板，采集他们的故事。我们还热衷于收集餐厅和顾客用餐的照片、旧菜单或其他临时物品（例如名片、日历、广告材料）。 2029年，澳洲将迎来200周年，中华会馆也将迎来120周年。在这些重要事件发生之前，我们收集到的有关华人历史的任何信息都将丰富这个国家的文化和社会历史。欲了解更多，请联系中华办公室或发送电子邮件至his to r y@ chungwah.org.au。帮助我们保护我们的历史，并为澳大利亚的子孙后代保留它。

Analysis on Statement of Profit or Loss Statement

Revenue

The overall revenue of the Chung Wah Association amounted to $15,589,006, with the Chung Wah Community Services (CWCC) revenue for the financial year reaching $14,086,608. This accounted for 91.6 percent of the Chung Wah Association’s total revenue. The increase in CWCC’s revenue can be attributed mainly to business expansion, cost-saving measures, and an increase in welfare revenue from the government-funded system. Revenue from association services increased by over 9.8 percent this year, reaching $835,945. This

Income Surplus

Chung Wah Association posted an operating surplus of $1,381,401, marking a substantial 45% increase compared to the previous year’s annual surplus of $955,194. In contrast, CWCC achieved a remarkable 72% increase in its surplus this year, reaching $1,451,662. The continuous growth of CWCC’s earnings is inseparable from a leadership team with advanced management concepts and a harmonious and enterprising team. However, Association Services experienced a deficit this year, shifting from a surplus of $75,638 in the previous year to a deficit of $62,018. This change can be attributed to limited growth in membership income and rental income, offset by increased

growth can be primarily attributed to government funding for capital works within the Association, increased income from each cultural group affiliated with the Association, as well as contributions from fundraising activities and social sponsorships. Chung Wah Chinese School (CWCS) experienced an 8 percent increase in revenue from the previous year, reaching $666,453. This improvement can be attributed to the broader societal recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an increase in the number of students attending the school.

expenditures on property maintenance, as well as the impact of a higher inflation rate this year. It aligns with the normal pattern and would be in surplus if we were to include the rent income from CWCC (which was treated as inter-company transactions) Despite a milder impact of the COVID-19 pandemic this year, Chung Wah Chinese schools recorded a deficit of $8,243, in contrast to the surplus of $34,148 from the previous year. The deficit was primarily caused by lower student enrolment in the three new schools, especially the recently established school in Geraldton, which resulted in reduced government funding and increased expenses.

2023财年财务报告

全

年，中华会馆致力为会员及社区提供福利服务、教育、文化及社会活动。

财务业绩

75,638元变成了赤字62,018元。这一变化可归因于会员收入和租金收入增长有限，被物业维修支出增加所抵消，以及今年通货膨胀率上升的影响。它与正常模式一致，如果我们包括中华社区服务的租金收入(被视为公司内部交易)，它将是盈余的。

中华会馆的总收入为15,589,006元，较上年度的 13,721,054元增加14%

虽然今年受新冠肺炎疫情影响较轻，但中华中文学校录得8,243元的赤字，而去年则录得34,148元的盈余。赤字主要是由于三所新学校的学生入学率下降，特别是最近在杰拉尔顿成立的学校，这导致政府资金减少，费用增加。

中华会馆的净资产稳步增长，而现金及现金等价物今年则增加了10%。

现金及现金等价物

在截至2023年6月30日的财政年度，中华会馆的营运盈余为1,381,401元，较2022年的盈余955,194元大幅增加45%。

良好的财务业绩可归因于几个因素。首先，高效的养老保险管理体系发挥了重要作用。其次，政府拨款和福利捐款有所增加。三是社区文化活动收入增加。此外，服务费用的减少也促成了积极的业绩。此外，2019冠状病毒病大流行后更广泛的社会复苏产生了有利影响。

收入

中华会馆在财政年度的总收入达15,589,006元，而中华社区服务的收入则达14,086,608元。这占中华会馆总收入的91.6%。中华社区服务收入的增长主要是由于业务扩张、成本节约措施以及政府资助制度福利收入的增加协会服务的收入今年增长超过 9 . 8 % ，达到 835,945元。这一增长主要归功于政府对协会内部基本工程的资助，协会下属各文化团体的收入增加，以及筹款活动和社会赞助的贡献· 中华中文学校的收入比去年增加了8 %，达到 666,453元。这一改善可归因于2019冠状病毒病大流行后更广泛的社会复苏，导致在校学生人数增加。

收入盈余

中华会馆的营运盈余为1,381,401元，较上年度的盈余955,194元大幅增加45%。相比之下，中华社区服务今年的盈余增长了72%，达到1,451,662元。中华社区服务盈利的持续增长，离不开一支具有先进管理理念的领导团队，离不开一支和谐进取的团队。然而，协会服务今年出现了赤字，从去年的盈余

截至2023年6月30日，中华社区服务总持有现金及现金等价物总额6,965,494元，占中华总会现金及现金等价物总额8,320,806元的84%。中华社区服务和中华中文学校的现金和现金等价物今年分别增长了 8%和14%。然而，协会服务的现金和现金等价物减少了45%。

净资产、物业、厂房及设备

截至2023年6月30日，协会服务的主要资产包括 James Street和Balcatta的土地和建筑物。中华中文学校的主要资产是电脑、办公设备和仓储设施。中华社区服务的资产包括用于运送客户的机动车辆、办公设备、固定装置和配件。中华总会于二零二三年六月三十日的总净资产为 15,217,435元，较上年度的13,836,034元增加10%。 2023 年 8月5日，西澳大利亚政府宣布将位于 Hedley Place和Nyamur Way Bentley拐角处的一块 6,955平方米的土地(简称“土地”)转让给中华会馆。该项目预计将于2024年1月开工，预计于2025年2月完工。在土地上社区中心的项目管理、设计和建设方面，已经建立了一项财政援助协议。该协议于2023年9 月22日由西澳地方政府、体育及文化产业界与中华会馆正式签订，提供5,000,000元的拨款。截至2023年10 月3日，该项目基金收到了第一期75万元。在此，我要感谢财务/人事/行政经理John Folan; 项目协调兼行政人员黄小娟和丘柔湘；高级财务行政人员林菊儿，以及行政人员王丽致敬，感谢她们这个一年来的辛勤工作和宝贵的协助。
