Sector Policy & Campaigns

On behalf of CBAA Members and the wider sector, the CBAA meets regularly with stakeholders to:

  • raise and progress policy issues;
  • lift the profile and awareness of the community broadcasting sector;
  • create networks with organisations who share interests and values with the community broadcasting sector; and
  • advocate for the interests of community broadcasters.
