What does community broadcasting look like in 2033?

In 2033 our stations are thriving in every way; securely funded and working in partnership, deeply connected to their communities.

And communities are stronger for it. It’s a future where more Australians choose to listen, watch and engage with community broadcasting for trusted news, information and entertainment.

More people discover local content and experience a valuable sense of belonging.
