CCA provides media commentary on issues important to charities and NFPs and CCA CEO David Crosbie writes fortnightly in the Community Advocate on sector issues. We keep our member CEOs and senior staff up to date via CCA’s Daily Diary – a frank daily analysis of the national context, issues and news of interest to charity leaders (all in a two-minute read).

Community Council for Australia launches #AusWeWant / #ImagineAustralia, calling on charities and not-for-profits to tell their own stories.
Australia prides itself on values of equality, fairness and justice, but instances of racism, hate and violence against Australia’s First Nations people remain pervasive in our society, undermining our social fabric in destructive and costly ways.
Antisemitism, racism and discrimination must not be tolerated or form part of a society that Australians collectively thrive in. Charities, not-for-profits (NFPs) and other social purpose organisations stand in strong solidarity alongside and support our Jewish communities and neighbours so that all members of our diverse multicultural society continue to feel that they can live in a more fair, safe and prosperous Australia that we all want.
CCA CEO David Crosbie reviews the 2026-27 Federal Budget writing in the Community Advocate.
One of the most important lessons from the Covid 19 pandemic was to ask for what is needed. This may seem obvious, but in the asymmetrical world of charities and not-for-profits, the reluctance to ask can be a major barrier, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in The Community Advocate.
Purpose and values matter, creating value matters, and being valued matters. All of these need our constant attention, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in The Community Advocate.
