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.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or stations:
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“mourn
The majesty and burning of the child’s death.
I shall not murder
The mankind of her going with a grave truth
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
