We are an independent member-based charity peak body dedicated to building flourishing 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 charities and community organisations – not against them.
The solutions necessary to change the sector for the better are well known. It’s finding the money that’s the problem. CCA CEO David Crosbie outlines a solution gaining traction in Canada in the Community Advocate.
We need to push back against the idea that we are less productive if we are healthier, better educated, better housed and cared for… Our sector can and should be part of shaping the national productivity agenda. The alternative is we allow it to shape us writes CCA CEO David Crosbie for the Community Advocate.
As we acknowledge volunteers in Australia, we should also note that there is still a lot of work to do to better support and enable volunteering in Australia writes CCA CEO David Crosbie for the Community Advocate.
Assistant Minister for Charities, Dr Andrew Leigh MP and Shadow Assistant Minister for Charities, Senator Dean Smith spoke at the National Press Club ahead of the Federal Election 2025.
