Influence & Lobbying

A collective, informed industry voice carries impact that no individual business can match.

The Creative & Communications Association translates member concerns into credible, evidence-based positions to engage external stakeholders shaping our operating environment. We ensure the voice of creative and communications businesses is heard where it matters in government, with regulators and in the public debate.

Public Affairs Forum

Our members have a direct hand in shaping the positions we advocate. Our Public Affairs Forum is a member council and the key channel through which we connect with our membership to devise policy positions that shape better outcomes for the future and address the real challenges facing the sector

By participating in the Forum, members shape the positions the association takes while also benefiting from peer insight, industry intelligence and best practice sharing.
