Strategic Plan
The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) is the national peak body for community radio and television stations. We provide leadership, advocacy and support for our members to actively provide independent broadcasting services and to build and strengthen local communities.
The CBAA strives to be a flexible, forward thinking, diverse, vibrant and effective representative organisation, focused on achieving the goal of developing strong communities through local, diverse and accessible broadcasting. We undertake activities such as membership advice, audio production, audience research, program and music distribution, database development and much more.
As the national representative organisation for community broadcasters it is the aim of the CBAA to remain responsive by providing quality membership services and by maintaining strong communication with both our members and stakeholders. Our members are extremely diverse and have differing needs.
CBAA members can include both fully licensed stations and groups aspiring to hold a permanent licence. At present the CBAA has over 270 member stations who are actively broadcasting nationwide. CBAA membership is not just restricted to broadcasters. Organisations and individuals who support the development of community broadcasting can also join as affiliate members.

The CBAA aims to:
- Promote the values of the community broadcasting sector through practical actions.
- Build station capacity by providing quality advice, support, and services for members.
- Advance the interests of the sector through policy leadership and advocacy.
- Enhance our communications strategies to raise awareness and knowledge of the sector.
- Increase organisational capacity to reflect best practice and facilitate sustainable growth.
Strategic Plan July 2008-11
Over the next three years the CBAA will further embrace our role as a vibrant peak body for community broadcasting that reflects the interests of our members and advances the endeavours of the entire sector. The CBAA Strategic Plan will reflect this role as it seeks to promote the values of community broadcasting through practical actions, provide more relevant services and support for members, develop our relationships with politicians and decision makers, raise awareness and knowledge of the community broadcasting by improving our communications strategies responding more effectively to your needs.
