Our Vision
Community broadcasting is at the heart of every Australian community.
About Us
Here at the CBF, we are proud champions of community broadcasting - Australia's largest independent media sector.
Our funding supports organisations to enrich people's lives with a diversity of choice in our media; to produce local stories, news and cultural content reflecting the many perspectives, people and communities that make up Australia.
Collaboration and partnership are central to the way we work, building on decades of strong relationships and expertise. Together with community broadcasters, content producers and sector organisations around the country, we are helping to build a thriving, impactful and resilient future for community media.
The volunteer peer assessment model we use to allocate grants reflects our belief that the CBF needs to be open and transparent about our decision- making process.
Our Values
Community-minded
We care.
Collaborative
We listen and work together.
Inclusive
We embrace and celebrate diversity.
Trusted
We work with integrity.
Message from our CEO and President
This year was in many ways one of looking ahead. In developing Roadmap 2033 we spent a large portion of the year looking at the current trends and opportunities in community broadcasting, and in consultations listening to people across the sector as they developed a shared vision for a vibrant future.
The way we all worked together showed the openness of the sector to collaborate, and revealed a widespread spirit of positivity. It illustrated the maturity of Australia's community broadcasting sector, which provides such a strong foundation for the work we will all do in implementing the Roadmap.
It was a historic day in June when a joint meeting of the Boards of the CBF and CBAA signed off on Roadmap 2033. We now have, for the first time in our rich history - a shared vision with clear priorities. This will have many benefits - a key one being that we can use it to communicate with each other and with Government and enjoy a common understanding of what matters.
Throughout the year we have maintained our positive relationship with Government and continue to share an effective working relationship. Also effective are our relationships with other community broadcasting sector bodies throughout Australia, and we thank them for their valuable contribution to their communities and to community broadcasting.
During the year, we began to align our Strategic Plan with the strategic priorities of the Roadmap, and work to finalise and share this will continue into the next year.
In 2022/23, we provided $19.15 million in grants to support community broadcasters across the country.
•	$9.4 million supported major sector- wide initiatives including sector coordination activities and providing all community broadcasters with access to services, training and shared infrastructure.
•	$6.1 million supported community broadcasters to build their resilience by strengthening governance, engaging their community and developing sustainable operations and technical capacity.
•	Nearly $3.4 million supported the production and distribution of creative and compelling content, as well as content that increased community participation and diversity in community broadcasting.
•	$303K supported community radio stations with immediate needs to stay on-air through our quick response program.
Our volunteer team of 135 people has again contributed enormously to the robustness of our grants process that provides such critical support across the sector. We warmly thank them for their generous donation of time and expertise that ensures our processes are strong and that our peer-assessment model continues to deliver good outcomes. 90 volunteers were involved in assessing grant applications this year, and our Board of nine approved each allocation.
Our sincere thanks as well to the CBF support team for another year of conscientious and committed service to the sector.
It has been a privilege to lead the CBF and serve Australia's community broadcasting sector for another year.

Triple A upskills in governance, leadership and strategy
A perfect blend of people, timing and structure amplified the benefit of training and delivered an immediate - and ongoing - outcome for Triple A Murri Country in Brisbane/ Meanjin.
In 2022/23 4AAA received $50,000 for a studio equipment upgrade and support for their transmission costs, with $12,500 specifically for the development of a governance and business strategy.
Triple A is owned by the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association BIMA. BIMA is a First Nations not-for-profit organisation committed to providing media services promoting the cultural and economic aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in south-east Queensland.
Triple A CEO at the time, Jyi Lawton, recognised the need to act quickly when funding was announced because the strategic plan was due for renewal. He also knew that some upskilling was needed so the team could work together and get the job done.
"I knew that we also needed to build in time to actually get the new plan done while we were all together. I didn't want to take two days out, and then still have to find time for us to get the plan done."
In November 2022, Triple A's Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors participated in a two-day governance, leadership and strategy workshop.
Facilitated by Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Business School, the training included a session on best practice Governance which provided the team the opportunity to learn or update their skills. The remainder of the workshop provided time for Triple A board members and key staff to work on renewing and further developing the vision, values, and strategic objectives of the organisation. They did this with the assistance of their QUT trainers in the room.
Work done over the two days produced Triple A's 2023-2028 Strategic Plan. The plan then went through review and consultation with all Triple A staff, before gaining Board approval. The final version has been in action from April 2023.
"What's great is we now all have the same understanding of how a strategic plan gets done, which we can draw on again and again. And we have volunteers who have taken this knowledge and experience out with them into their other roles and workplaces in the community.
"It's two days of training that will provide a benefit to the station, and to our community, for years to come," Jyi concluded.
Participation and voice
Creating connection and belonging through diverse community
Our grants help community organisations engage and connect with their communities - ensuring local voices, perspectives and stories are heard, helping people find a place where they belong.
At its heart, community media is a true reflection of the many diverse facets of our society, providing an important platform for local discussion, information, culture and content underrepresented in other media.

2DRY becomes the place to be for Broken Hill's young people!
2DRY FM is based in Broken Hill on the lands of the Wilyakali people. It broadcasts more than 60 locally produced and network programs each week, thanks to the commitment of passionate volunteers and the support of valued sponsors and listeners who support the station financially.
2DRYFM received $18,550 in CBF funding to employ a Youth Coordinator to increase the level of local youth-led programming. Specifically, the role was to engage, train and support young people in Broken Hill to establish a weekly radio program.
This program has been a remarkable success and has established 2DRY as a place for young people in Broken Hill to make friends, learn skills and build confidence. Their involvement has enabled 2DRY FM to continue to build its presence in the community by assisting with live events. The program itself has developed capacity at the station to train young people and support local youth-led programming. This is now a program 2DRY plans to replicate and refine in future.
The initiative got underway quite quickly and by October 2022, the Youth Coordinator had supported the launch of the Youth Times radio show airing for an hour each week. Youth volunteers hosted six outside broadcasts to June 30, 2023 and made well in excess of 50 hours of youth-led programming.
The Youth Coordinator developed and ran new presenter training for five-days in the school holidays in January and April 2023. Ten young people aged 11-23 attended the training which covered: getting started in community radio, broadcast law and scripting, hosting and interviews, editing and production, how to pitch a program, and an opportunities and skills review.
Practical experience included editing promo announcements for a youth art event at the Broken Hill City Gallery and hosting an outside broadcast from that event. The trainees interviewed young mural artists at the Gallery as well as artist James Price. They scripted and recorded a full program, interviewing each other about their experience in the youth program.
Five of the young people involved in training continue to be involved with regular programming which is a fantastic outcome! Another two young people continue with other school holiday activities and two young volunteers who were already programming at 2DRY gained additional support from the youth coordinator.
All the participants reported enjoying their experience and gaining new skills out of it, with feedback from the first training including: "Really fun 10 out of 10" and "Overall, it was a great experience for me. Thank you, Megan, for breaking it up and making these five days awesome".
Partner and influence
Champions for community broadcasting
Forming strong, productive partnerships is central to our strategy.
We understand the success of community broadcasting is dependent on identifying issues and opportunities, and working collaboratively with individuals, organisations and the Australian Government to achieve meaningful change.
We know that collectively we can achieve so much more by sharing resources, ideas and expertise to advance the sector we all love, and secure its future.

Developing a community broadcasting sector Roadmap
We partnered with Community Broadcasting Association of Australia to jointly sponsor the development of a long-term strategy for community broadcasting in Australia.
Titled Roadmap 2033, the strategy defines the shared goals of community broadcasters and outcomes the sector, as a whole, wants to see for stations and sector representative organisations, for audiences, staff and volunteers, and for our communities.
Community Broadcasting Sector Roundtable members and other sector organisations all participated in the process, with representatives from:
•	Australian Community Television Alliance (ACTA)
•	Christian Media & Arts Australia (CMAA)
•	Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA)
•	Community Broadcasting Foundation (CBF)
•	Community Media Training Organisation (CMTO)
•	First Nations Media Australia (FNMA)
•	National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters' Council (NEMBC)
•	RPH Australia (RPHA)
•	Southern Community Media Association (SCMA)
•	Technorama (Technorama)
•	South Australian Community Broadcasting Association (SACBA)
The development of Roadmap 2033 was highly consultative and included various ways people could get involved at each stage of the process.
Discovery: Insights about the sector and the cultural environment were developed through research, 22 in-depth interviews with leaders and experts inside and outside the community broadcasting sector and 10 virtual community consultation sessions
with representatives from stations and sector organisations.
The Discussion Paper produced at the end of this phase summarises the top 10 insights into the current challenges and opportunities facing the community broadcasting sector, and the top 10 trends affecting the sector.
Collaboration: 32 community broadcasting leaders and other stakeholders met at two Roadmap 2033 Leadership Forums during February and March. Participants agreed the sector's purpose is to serve their communities. The group rated the issues that have the potential to impact the community broadcasting sector, positively or negatively, over the next ten years.
In a sector-wide values survey, participants were asked about the current values held by the sector, and values that would be important for the sector in future. 252 people completed the survey with a good distribution of metro and regional, and distribution of communities of interest. All surveys were anonymous at the individual level.
In April, community broadcasters were invited to host conversation circles, fostering a bottom-up approach to feedback collection. Sixteen submissions, ranging from written documents to video recordings, were received from sector organisations, stations, and individuals.
Congress: On 20 April, 64 people from across the community broadcasting sector gathered together at a Sector Congress in Naarm / Melbourne to progress the concepts of the Roadmap 2033. It was a chance to focus on the sector as we want to see it in ten years' time.
Endorsement: The refined Roadmap was presented to a joint meeting of the CBAA and CBF Boards on 21 June for endorsement, marking a crucial step towards a collective vision for the future of community broadcasting.
Advocacy: As the year ended, we continued to work with CBAA to consult with Government agencies, discussing how Government can best support Roadmap 2033. Agencies worked with included the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts (DITRDCA - Communications), the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA).
Roadmap 2033 was formally presented to The Hon Michelle Rowland MP, Minister for Communications at a community event to mark the opening of 2SWR's new studios.
Roadmap 2033 has been a landmark achievement for our sector. Through consultation with stations, staff and volunteers, research and analysis, surveys, workshops, leadership forums and a sector congress, we have brought the sector together with unprecedented unity to achieve a common sense of purpose.
Our strong foundations
Helping us deliver on our commitments
Our work strongly relies on building a strong organisational base that enables us to fulfill our vision and purpose, and deliver on our outcomes.
We have skilled and knowledgeable staff and volunteers who are dedicated to supporting the work of the CBF; rigorous decision-making processes based on research and insights; strong governance practices that are embedded in everything we do; and trusted collaborative relationships that harness talent, expertise and ideas for the greater good of the sector.
Fostering cultural competency
Cultural competency training is completed by all the CBF Support Team, Board and committee members, and is also offered to all members of the Grant Assessor Team.
This online training program is designed to provide greater understanding of Australia's diversity and foster inclusivity. This training ensures that all staff and volunteers have the key skills, knowledge and understanding to sensitively interact with and make decisions affecting First Nations Australians, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people and people who are under-represented in our communities.
From a broader organisational perspective, cultural competency training strengthens our commitment to inclusivity as articulated in the CBF Diversity, Access & Equity Policy, as well as our support for reconciliation and better outcomes for all Australians.
•	100 Net Promoter Score in Support Team satisfaction and engagement survey
•	44% women on our committees and assessor team
•	83% of applicants felt they were well supported by the Grants Support Team
•	95% of CBF volunteers feel valued
•	117 staff and volunteers have completed cultural competency training since 2017
In 2023, four CBF Grant Assessors and three staff members undertook cultural competency training.

Volunteer training and professional development
Volunteers are valued members of the CBF team. We are committed to investing in their skills development, ensuring their work is purposeful and valued, and providing meaningful opportunities to contribute to our organisation and the wider community media sector.
The CBF supports volunteers to develop their understanding and experience of the structures, practices and values of community broadcasting stations and sector organisations, as well as other professional development opportunities that will enhance their volunteer roles at our organisation.
In 2022/23, 20 new and experienced CBF assessors participated in online Assessor Skills workshops to share knowledge and learn new skills. Guided by our Volunteer Manager, Georgie Boucher, participants looked closely at the assessment criteria and then completed several sample assessments, discussing why they scored applications the way they did and gaining insight into best practice.
These workshops provide practical advice and feedback to CBF assessors and are a great opportunity for assessors to learn from each other, highlighting the benefits of peer-to-peer support. Assessors find these workshops rewarding: "It was extremely helpful. It clarified my direction when assessing while at the same time acknowledging that applications have to be viewed with both a macro and micro lens."
Training was also delivered to three volunteers from our Grants Advisory Committee (GAC) Alternate pool. This pool of CBF assessors can be called upon to assist in the grant allocation decision-making meetings. This provides a fantastic professional development opportunity for assessors who are keen to experience the Grants Advisory Committee process firsthand. The training was delivered to three Development & Operations Grants Advisory Committee (DOGAC) alternate assessors prior to their participation at the DOGAC meeting and covered roles and responsibilities, the assessment criteria, meeting expectations, the grant recommendation process and further tips and resources.
In 2022 CBF volunteers were also supported to attend a range of community media sector conferences including the South Australian Community Broadcasters Association conference, the Christian Media and Arts Australia CONNECT22 conference, the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia conference, First Nations Media Australia's CONVERGE conference and the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcaster's Council conference.

Quick Response grants
We know that sometimes stations need urgent support due to unexpected emergencies, such as bushfire, storm damage, floods and things you just can't plan for.
We also know that opportunities arise, every so often, which can be time-limited or offer community broadcasters the chance to match funding on a project with another organisation.
Our Quick Response grants are specifically designed to help community broadcasters to stay on air when the unexpected happens and also take advantage of valuable opportunities that may not coincide with our grant rounds.
These grants are available all year round.
Examples of the type of emergencies or opportunities that may require a Quick Response grant include:
Emergencies
•	Replacing essential equipment and related expenses to restore basic transmission following an unforeseen event such as flood, bushfire, lightning or theft
•	Replacing essential operational equipment and related expenses not able to be reasonably anticipated
•	Unexpected changes at studio or transmission sites such as a sudden need to relocate
•	A financial loan while an insurance claim is being processed and/or funds are raised
Opportunities
•	A matched funding opportunity for a project
•	Other costs associated with a time- limited opportunity

Our people
Our Board
Led by President Ian Hamm, our Board of nine provides direction for organisational strategy, policy and practice.
This year the Board brought their wealth of skills and knowledge to the consideration of the Sector Roadmap as well as consideration of two independent reviews: Evaluation of the Enhanced National News Project and the Review of the 2016 Restructure.
Sector-nominated Board Director Jurgen Schaub was reappointed for a further term from July 2023. We are delighted to be continuing our work with Jurgen into the future.
Valuing diversity and inclusion
In 2022/23 the Board consisted of 67% women, 22% First Nations Australians, 22% Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) people, and 11% from non-metro areas.
"I received CBF funding for the first time as an independent TV producer almost ten years ago and it helped kick-start my career in the arts for which I am forever grateful. I joined the CBF as an assessor and later as a member of the content committee as I was passionate about community media, specifically Community TV, and I wanted to give back to an organisation that had been instrumental in my chosen career path."
Shane Dunlop, Content Grants Advisory Committee
The volunteers on our three advisory committees - Content Grants Advisory Committee (CGAC), Development & Operations Grants Advisory Committee (DOGAC) and Sector Investment Advisory Committee (SIAC) - are all from the community media sector or allied fields, as are the members of our Grants Assessor Team.
Grants Advisory Committees
This year we farewelled DOGAC Chairperson and SIAC member Meg Butler, DOGAC member Zain Nabi and SIAC Chairperson Jurgen Schaub - all have made incredible contributions to the CBF and we thank them for their hard work.
We welcomed new CGAC Chairperson and SIAC member Libby Jamieson, CGAC member Christine Lee and SIAC member Vaughn Bennison. Evrim Sen was appointed as DOGAC Chairperson following Meg Butler's departure as was Esther Pearce as SIAC Chairperson following Jurgen Schaub's departure.

Grant Assessor Team
This year our Grant Assessor Team consisted of 135 volunteers from the community media sector or allied fields and 90 of these assessors reviewed 331 grant applications.
Valuing diversity and inclusion
Our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion saw us exceed our target of 40% to reach 44% of women represented on our committees and in our assessor team. 10% of this volunteer base are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders, 37% are from non- metropolitan areas and 20% are people with a culturally and linguistically diverse background.
CBF support team
Our support team oversees the day- to-day operations of the CBF, including administering grants and liaising with our grant applicants, our volunteers, sector organisations and government.
This year there were a number of changes in the communications team.
In November we farewelled Strategic Communications Manager Philippa Costigan. We'd like to thank Philippa for staying on well beyond her initial contract and for her great work steering communications throughout a busy period which included the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters.
With Philippa's departure, the communications function was restructured slightly to bring a more appropriate mix of skills and time to the different aspects of the work.
We welcomed Carolyn Wray as Strategic Communications Manager and Natalie Luong as Communications Coordinator. Together they manage the strategic communications and content production for the organisation, with Carolyn also taking the communications lead on Roadmap 2033.

We'll of course do what we can to work with you if this was to happen.
NOTE ABOUT DIGITAL PROOFING
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of your printing, created by South can't accept responsibility for colour inconsistencies between digital files and the printed item. Screens cannot be used as an accurate indicator of final colour. We recommend a colour proof on correct substrate prior to printing to confirm colour accuracy.
