No International Student
Should Suffer Crime Alone in Australia
We Are Australia® supports international students affected by crime and works to improve safety and prevent harm across Australia.
Sometimes one person standing up can change everything.
The Story That Started It All
Vietnamese international student Minh Tuan Duong was the victim of a brutal assault while studying in Melbourne. Instead of disappearing into the statistics, Minh rebuilt his life through the piano, mentorship, and community support. Together with his music teacher, Adrian De Luca, his journey helped inspire the creation of We Are Australia, an organisation dedicated to ensuring no international student victim of crime is ever invisible again.
28,000
International student victims of crime are missing from crime statistics every year
We Are Australia® supports international students affected by crime and works to improve safety and prevent harm across Australia.
