The CBAA provide leadership, advocacy and support for members to actively provide independent broadcasting services and to build and strengthen local communities. The organisation provides advice and support to community broadcasters regarding a variety of issues.
The CBAA has also become a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), able to oversee accredited training for the sector. In addition to this, it also offers a national satellite network, the Community Radio Network that allows community broadcasters to share and syndicate their content.
This service has been expanded in recent years with the addition of the Digital Delivery Network (DDN). This project has allowed community radio stations to record and replay programs, interviews, and music from contributing stations within the network.
Recently the association has launched a podcast hosting service, C pod.
The organisation also runs an annual Conference, which brings together representatives from the around Australia.
