CEA empowers members, and the sector, as the National Peak Body for Not-For-Profit Community Education
Our mission is to deliver essential services and advocacy for our members, ensuring their voices are heard at all levels of government, enabling them to deliver exceptional services to the communities they serve.
Community Education focuses on providing accessible learning opportunities for adults within local communities. It aims to support personal development, social welfare, and learning outcomes for individuals, especially those who may be experiencing disadvantage or disengagement from formal education. CEA emphasises the profound social impact of these community-based educational pathways.
