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.

The Charities Crisis Cabinet Pre-Budget Submission recommends ten measures to deliver real benefits to government and strengthen our communities. Charities and NFPs want to be part of the solution, part of rebuilding communities and boosting our economy.
Charities can be key drivers of social and economic recovery across Australia - and should make their case in the federal budget process writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News as he shares ten recommendations from the Charities Crisis Cabinet that could make a big difference as we rebuild our communities and boost our economy.
Charities Crisis Cabinet Co-Chairs, Rev Tim Costello AO and Susan Pascoe AM have written to our Prime Minister asking that the critical role played by charities and our capacity to make a difference, both economically and in terms of wellbeing, be considered and incorporated into your government’s national policy development and agenda setting.
