The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) is a peak body and the national representative organisation for community radio and television stations in Australia. 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.

“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
