CCA provides media commentary on issues important to charities and NFPs and CCA CEO David Crosbie writes fortnightly in the Community Advocate on sector issues. We keep our member CEOs and senior staff up to date via CCA’s Daily Diary – a frank daily analysis of the national context, issues and news of interest to charity leaders (all in a two-minute read). Charity leaders who would like to know more, please contact our Partnerships Manager, Deborah Smith, info@communitycouncil.com.au

Charities, not-for-profits (NFPs) and other social purpose organisations stand in strong solidarity alongside and support our Jewish communities and neighbours so that all members of our diverse multicultural society continue to feel that they can live in a more fair, safe and prosperous Australia that we all want.

Purpose and values matter, creating value matters, and being valued matters. All of these need our constant attention, writes CCA CEO David Crosbie in The Community Advocate.
The Community Council for Australia is requesting that the essential role of charities and NFPs be factored into any measures relating to fuel shortages in Australia.
