Who we are, what we do

The Community Council for Australia is an independent non-political member based organisation dedicated to building flourishing communities by enhancing the extraordinary work undertaken by the charities and not-for-profit sector in Australia.

CCA seeks to change the way governments, communities and not-for-profits relate to one another. It does so by providing a national voice and facilitation for sector leaders to act on common and shared issues affecting the contribution, performance and viability of NFPs in Australia. This includes:

• promoting the values of the sector and the need for reform
• influencing and shaping relevant policy agendas
• improving the way people invest in the sector
• measuring and reporting success in a way that clearly articulates value
• building collaboration and sector efficiency
• informing, educating, and assisting organisations to build sustainable futures
• providing a catalyst and mechanism for the sector to work in partnership with government, business and the broader Australian community to achieve positive change.

Our success will drive a more sustainable and effective charities and not-for-profit sector in Australia making an increased contribution to the well-being and resilience of all our communities.
