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.
Governments might not like noisy charities – but without them Australia would be a much less healthy, safe and prosperous country, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 7 November 2019.
We know the level of government funding for charities to provide contracted services is generally inadequate, yet somehow this has become an acceptable situation. If governments are going to fund charities to provide services in our communities, they need to pay for what it is being delivered, including all the costs of delivering quality services writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 24 October 2019.
In the struggle to survive, you must get the basics of CEO and Board right - and closing a charity is not always a bad outcome, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 10 October.
To be effective, you have to say no to some things, give yourself permission to not do everything, and to not do everything you do well, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 26 September 2019.
Where you live and the postcode of the school you attend will have a significant impact in determining your opportunities. We need to start addressing the educational bias that limits opportunities for people living in rural and regional Australia, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in Pro Bono News, 12 September 2019.
