CENTRAL COAST COMMUNITY COUNCIL INC.

What CENTRAL COAST COMMUNITY COUNCIL INC. does

Central Coast Community Council Inc. (CCCC) is a non-profit peak body established in 1993 and incorporated on 21 December 1994, operating from the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. Its stated function is to coordinate the regional community services sector — fostering collaboration between non-government community organisations, advocating with government, and providing capacity-building support, training, and information dissemination. CCCC serves community service organisations, government agencies, secondary school students via respectful relationships education, and Central Coast residents seeking access to support services. The organisation is governed by an eight-member volunteer board and operates with a 12-person staff led by a Regional Development/CEO.

The core product portfolio is non-software and services-led. It comprises the Thrive Together program (delivering NAPCAN's LOVE BiTES curriculum to high school students aged 11–17), the Safe from the Start training program (a one-day workshop plus resource toolkit for workers engaging children affected by domestic violence; over 2,000 professionals trained across all Australian states, New Zealand, and the UK), Interagency Coordination Services (facilitating 20+ recurring networks across Youth, Early Years & Families, Seniors, Peninsula, Aboriginal, Domestic Violence, and Mental Health domains), Community Events and Training, and a centralised Resource Directory for community members. Underlying technology is limited to a standard website (thecccc.org.au) used for event coordination, resource sharing, and communications; no proprietary platform, app, or AI/ML capability is present.

The revenue model is government-grant and donation-dependent. The primary inflow is the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) funding under the Community and Family Support (CAFS) program, supplemented by donations and tax-deductible sponsorships from individuals and businesses. All community-facing services are delivered free of charge. The go-to-market is event- and community-led rather than commercial: services are distributed through in-person events, training, and interagency forums across the Central Coast, with online delivery (Zoom-based programs such as Tuning Into Teens Online) extending reach. Marketing is conducted via the website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), email, and community event calendars. CCCC holds no patents, trademarks, or proprietary certifications, and has no subsidiaries or parent company.

Direct peers

• NSW Council of Social Service (NCOSS): NCOSS is the state-level peak body for community services in NSW and was CCCC's first funder in 1994. NCOSS operates the same peak-body model as CCCC but at the state level, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS): VCOSS is the equivalent state-level peak body in Victoria, performing the same interagency coordination, advocacy, and policy representation role that CCCC performs at the regional level in NSW. Highly comparable operating model and stakeholder base.
• Queensland Council of Social Service (QCOSS): QCOSS is the state-level peak body for social services in Queensland. Like CCCC, it convenes networks, advocates for the sector, and supports community organisations, making it a direct functional peer.
• South Australian Council of Social Service (SACOSS): SACOSS is the South Australian equivalent of CCCC, operating as a peak body for community service organisations with policy advocacy, sector development, and convening functions. Business model and stakeholder base mirror CCCC's.
• Western Australian Council of Social Service (WACOSS): WACOSS is the WA state-level peak body for community services, performing sector coordination, advocacy, and capacity-building roles comparable to CCCC's regional convening function.
• Tasmania Council of Social Service (TasCOSS): TasCOSS is the Tasmanian state-level peak body for community services, offering the same advocacy, sector coordination, and interagency facilitation model that CCCC delivers regionally in NSW.
• Northern Territory Council of Social Service (NTCOSS): NTCOSS is the NT equivalent peak body for community services, providing sector coordination, advocacy, and policy representation. Comparable structure and mission to CCCC, though serving a different geographic and demographic context.

BROAD_INCINCUMBENTs

• Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS): ACOSS is the national peak body for community services in Australia, with CCCC functioning as a regional affiliate in the broader ACOSS/NCOSS ecosystem. Comparable in mission (sector advocacy, coordination, capacity building) but with a national rather than regional scope.

Emerging players

• NAPCAN (National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect): NAPCAN is a national program provider whose LOVE BiTES respectful-relationships curriculum is delivered by CCCC through Thrive Together. NAPCAN operates at a national scale with a narrower program focus, while CCCC operates as a regional multi-program convenor.

Others

• Our Community: Our Community is a sector support organisation providing resources, training, and tools for Australian not-for-profits and community groups. It is comparable to CCCC in serving the community-services sector but focuses on capacity-building tools rather than regional convening.
