REGISTRATIONS NOW OPEN

ASCA is the not-for-profit peak body representing people and organisations spearheading moves to make our communities more liveable, more sustainable and more technologically empowered. Its members and partners include governments, businesses, universities and passionate individuals. We recognise the importance of putting people first – and viewing things from a local perspective while also drawing on international experience.

ASCA was originally created as the Broadband Alliance by people primarily involved in local government who saw great opportunities in an emerging digitally-enabled world. Our mission is to grow the organisation, broaden the focus and enhance our role as a sector leader by engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, including federal and state governments.
