Welcome to CCA
CCA's an independent member-based peak body dedicated to building prosperous communities by enhancing the extraordinary work of Australia’s not-for-profit sector.
We do this by changing the way governments, communities and the not-for-profit sector relate to one another.
In particular, this includes establishing a regulatory environment that works for community organisations - not against them.

What kind of Australia do we want to live in, and what is the not-for-profit sector's role in achieving it? CCA works with the sector to nut out the hard questions.

CCA is sector-led and member-driven. Organisations join CCA because they understand the importance of a sector voice, the strength of leaders working together and the need for NFP organisations to invest in the future of our sector.
CCA CEO David Crosbie thinks Imagine Canada is right – and it probably applies in Australia - diversity in our sector means diminished pay, diminished conditions, diminished opportunity. And that’s not good enough. Do we really value diversity? Really? Pro Bono News, 17 November 2022.

A step forward from where we were, but still well short of where we need to get to. To change Australia for the better, we will all need to play our part in advocating for fundamental structural reform of our Federal Budget, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 25 October 2022.
Some days it all feels like an uphill struggle, but if we look carefully there are many small victories incrementally smoothing our path forward, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 19 October 2022.
We go on repeating failure, spending more and more on ambulances at the bottom of the cliff instead of investing in more effective community care. Elections are a time for charities to pursue change. For purpose, and for our communities. CCA CEO David Crosbie writes in Pro Bono News, 5 October 2022.
