The Community Advocacy Alliance (CAA), a benevolent organisation founded in 2015, is reaching out to the broader community to join its mission of tackling pressing social issues. With a focus on research and advocacy, the CAA addresses topics ranging from law enforcement and youth crime to mental health, road safety, and corruption.
Under the leadership of former Police Chief Commissioner Kel Glare AO APM, the CAA operates as a service of last resort for those affected by systemic challenges. With a membership base that includes retired police officers, business leaders, legal experts, psychologists, and academics, the organisation brings a wealth of experience to its work.
The CAA highlights the importance of representation from culturally, religiously, and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. Recognising the unique challenges faced by these groups, the organisation seeks voices from CALD backgrounds to ensure that its efforts reflect the broader community’s needs and priorities.
Meeting monthly at the Ringwood RSL, members discuss how to make a tangible difference in Victoria, focusing on practical solutions and community support. Former Police Inspector Ivan Ray, the CAA’s CEO, emphasises the welcoming nature of the group, encouraging individuals of good character to step forward.
For those keen to contribute, the CAA offers an opportunity to join a network of passionate advocates working towards meaningful change. Potential members can learn more about the organisation’s work and values by visiting their website, caainc.org.au.
The CAA is not just extending an invitation—it’s offering a chance to be part of something bigger.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
