Welcoming Lisa Rose to CBAA

We’re delighted to welcome Lisa Rose to the CBAA team as our new Chief Financial and Risk Officer.

Lisa joins us at an exciting time for community broadcasting, as we continue to grow our capability, strengthen governance and work with our sector to develop Roadmap 2033 priorities. With extensive experience in mission-driven organisations, she brings a strong commitment to transparency, sustainability and practical systems that support people to do their best work.

We sat down with Lisa to learn more about what drew her to CBAA and what she’s looking forward to in her new role.

What drew you to the CBAA?

Community broadcasting plays such an important role in giving diverse communities a voice and keeping media independent and locally connected. After many years working in mission-driven organisations, I was really motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a sector that supports inclusion, access, and community participation across Australia.

What are you most looking forward to doing to support the CBAA and our members?
I look forward to maintaining clear, transparent financial practices, strengthening risk management, and making sure our resources are directed where they can have the greatest impact for community broadcasters. I’m also keen to work closely with the team and Board to support sustainable growth, good governance and practical systems that make things easier - not more complicated - for our members and stakeholders.

If you could be the host of a community radio or TV show, with no limits on budget or guests, what would be your dream show?

If I could host a community radio or TV show with no limits, I’d love it to be centred around real stories from real people - everyday Australians to share their journeys - not just the highlights, but the challenges and lessons along the way.

I’d want it to feel relaxed and genuine, more like a good conversation than an interview. Something that leaves people feeling inspired, connected and reminded of the incredible work happening in communities all around the country.

Lisa’s focus on clear financial stewardship, thoughtful risk management and sustainable growth will help ensure CBAA continues to support strong and successful community broadcasters across Australia. We’re excited about the perspective and leadership she brings to the organisation, and we look forward to working alongside her to secure the capacity our sector needs to meet community needs now and into the future.
