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.
As we look to 2021, the charities sector needs to focus more on collective action, increasing our capacity to serve our communities and push back against political bias and attempts to intimidate charities or silence criticism writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 10 December 2020.
Charities are more than the good work they do. Charities are drivers of productivity, economic and social change - and charities should be central to the drive to create increased employment across Australia. Why aren't they asks CCA CEO David Crosbie in this contribution to Pro Bono News, 26 November 2020
2020 has demonstrated to all of us how vitally important it is to remain connected and to support our communities. On December 1st we have an opportunity to lend our voices to help amplify the collective spirit of generosity we have seen time and time again this year, by supporting the Australian GivingTuesday campaign.
Reform does not come to those who wait. We must get better at promoting our value. Giving Tuesday 2020 (1 December) could be a day when charities not only did good work, but also became their own best advocates writes CCA CEO, David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 12 November 2020.
At a time when we know some charity workers are struggling, it’s more important than ever to acknowledge how critical charity workers are to our future, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 29 October 2020.
