How we are helping
Australia is working with Vietnam to support a prosperous, secure and stable Vietnam. Since 1973, Australia has provided over $3 billion in development assistance to Vietnam. This includes technical and financial support to construct two bridges, 26.4 million COVID-19 vaccinations and over 7,000 Australia Awards Scholarships.
Australia is supporting Vietnam to achieve its 2030 socio-economic development targets and its goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045. Australia's development partnership with Vietnam focuses on economic growth; skills and human resource development; climate change; and gender equality, disability and social inclusion. These areas reflect Australia's strengths, as recognised by the Government of Vietnam, and complement the efforts of other partners working in Vietnam.
The Australia – Vietnam Development Partnership Plan (2025–2030) (DPP) translates into action the development priorities Australia shares with Vietnam. The DPP sets out agreed objectives, how we will work together to deliver shared outcomes, and how progress will be monitored. It also identifies where Australia can add value to Vietnam's national development priorities and how Australia will work with other development actors, ensuring the Australian Government's contribution to Vietnam's development ambitions is well coordinated.
