Member Stations
The CBAA, as the currently recognised peak body for community broadcasting in Australia, has members from a diverse range of independently operated not-for-profit community based radio stations.
The station types include:
- General Community (Geographical Area based stations)
- Christian / Religious (Religious stations, usually Christian, now includes Muslim services)
- Youth (Student and general youth stations)
- Indigenous (Indigenous / Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islands)
- Print Handicapped (RPH and affiliates)
- Specialist Music (Broad or specific genre stations - e.g.: Classical, jazz etc.)
- Progressive (used to describe Left leaning, mainly talk based radio services)
- Senior Citizens (Over 60's - oldies music for senior citizens)
- Sport
In most cases, each licensee is the operator of a single station, in some cases with translators and repeaters to provide services in otherwise poor reception areas.

Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
