Rural Communities Australia Ltd (RCA) is a not-for-profit organisation registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (ACNC) and a registered Australian Tax Office (ATO) Tax Concession Charity (TCC). Its purposes are: To support the economic development, social well-being, and environmental integrity of rural communities throughout Australia through participation in community-led projects. To support the independence and self-sufficiency of governance through which rural communities design and manage their own futures. We are inspired by the many examples we have seen across Australia of communities dealing with challenges of all kinds by taking charge of their own destinies and using their own capabilities and resources to put their future as a community on a sustainable foundation. Such communities don’t look to governments for solutions, but to their own knowledge, as well as to their social strengths and physical assets. Government assistance may come in around them, but only to support what is already being built by local initiative, not as a substitute for it. Our work is to bring together and share in partnership with Australian rural communities the best that has been done for themselves by rural groups and communities everywhere, and to support local creativity and innovation in every way possible.
