For over five decades, community broadcasters across Australia have experienced firsthand the value that community-owned and community-led media brings to their lives and to their communities.

A new report has shone a light on the breadth of that impact across Australia and how community broadcasting unlocks benefits for mental health, civic participation, social cohesion and more.

Thanks to Luke Gosling MP for dropping by Teabba - Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association and seeing first hand the important work they do for communities in the Top End.

Quick Response grants mean Community Broadcasting Foundation can provide targeted support in times of need - support for community broadcasting from MPs like Luke Gosling and Minister Anika Wells MP means TEABBA and other community broadcasters can keep communities informed when they need it most.

With regular power outages impacting the Teabba - Top End Aboriginal Bush Broadcasting Association's broadcasts, a Quick Response grant from Community Broadcasting Foundation has supported the organisation to install a backup generator – ensuring continuity of service for 29 remote Indigenous communities.

Upon receiving the grant TEABBA told us that "this investment strengthens our ability to keep broadcasting during power outages and unexpected disruptions, helping ensure that communities remained informed, connected, and heard".

Enjoy a look behind the scenes as TEABBA installed the generator:
