The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) champions community broadcasting by building stations’ capability and by creating a healthy environment for the sector to thrive. 

CBAA Learning is a dedicated e-learning platform built by the CBAA for CBAA members and community broadcasters across Australia. 

Community broadcasting is a vital part of the Australian media landscape. The 450+ radio services broadcasting across Australia play an important role in providing a voice for communities that aren’t adequately serviced by other broadcasting sectors. These include:

• Indigenous Australians
• Ethnic communities
• Educational services
• Religious communities
• Print disabled communities
• Music, arts and cultural services
• Youth and seniors’ communities

These community broadcasting services:

• Provide a diverse range of viewpoints that enrich the social and cultural fabric of Australian society and contribute to public interest outcomes
• Promote the identities of local communities and contribute to social inclusion
• Provide opportunities for participation in free-to-air public broadcasting and content production
• Contribute to media diversity
• Generate a high level of local content
• Provide a unique range of services and programs
