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.

Sector heavyweight David Crosbie urges Australian charities to merge, instead of competing for the same funding, in order to survive.

Hundreds of Australian charities must be dissolved or merged to stop not-for-profits cannibalising each other in the $105 billion a year industry, the sector’s peak body says.

Australia needs to adopt a groundbreaking superannuation program that has been operating in France for over a decade, providing billions of dollars for charitable projects, according to Not for Profit sector leaders.

The CEO of the Community Council for Australia (CCA), David Crosbie, said the French 90/10 super program was producing “amazing” results that would be very easy to apply to Australia.

Australia’s social sector leaders are optimistic heading into 2016, saying that this year presents many opportunities for positive change.

While 2015 was a tumultuous one for the the Not for Profit sector, this year is expected, once again, to be full of surprises.

Simple revolution for Australian super needed – Community Council for Australia says innovative French program should be adopted to create billions of dollars for projects that have a social impact – and CCA says it is easy to do.

Community Council for Australia (which represents over 600,000 not-for-profits and 60,000 registered charities) calls for the Government to adopt an extraordinary and highly successful French initiative … which has created billions of dollars for not-for-profits carrying out projects that create social impact.

The Community Council for Australia is launching a series of Forums seeking to reduce the number of charities in Australia.  David Crosbie, CEO of CCA, said today that “it is time to ask sector leaders to put self-interest aside and work together rather than competing against each other in the charities and not-for-profit sector.
