The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) is a national organization that supports and represents community radio and television stations across Australia. Established in 1974, the CBAA provides resources, training, and advocacy to enhance the capacity of community broadcasters. It aims to promote diversity in media and ensure that local voices are heard. The CBAA also plays a crucial role in policy development and lobbying for the interests of community broadcasters. It organizes events, conferences, and workshops to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among its members, helping to strengthen the community broadcasting sector as a whole.
