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.

The Australian Taxation Office has confirmed that 320,000 charity workers are receiving JobKeeper.
