Project Status
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts (the Department) is the Australian Government agency that oversees the Community Broadcasting Program (CBP). As part of that role, we periodically evaluate the performance of the CBP, and the assistance provided to licensees to ensure value for money and that the needs of community broadcasters and listeners are met. The evaluation of the grant program will also inform the Roadmap2033 project which is jointly sponsored by the Community Broadcasting Foundation and the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia. For more information about the review, please visit the Department’s website.

Aims + Outcomes
The Department has engaged the Social Research Centre to undertake an evaluation of the CBP including a survey of grant applicants and eligible broadcasters so that we better understand the experience of community broadcasters and to hear your ideas.
Methods
As part of the research, the Social Research Centre will analyse survey data to provide insights into community broadcasters’ experience. This information will help us to better understand the experience community broadcasters. In April, you may be asked to participate an online survey (approximately 10 minutes depending on your experiences).
Insights gained through survey responses will contribute to an independent evaluation of the Community Broadcasting Program (CBP) informing our understanding of organisations who are eligible to access financial support through the CBP. The evaluation is part of a broader review of the sustainability of the community broadcasting sector which is being undertaken by the Department.
