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.

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.
