LCSA is calling on all member organisations to take part in our Member Census 2026 Survey, which is now open.

Every few years, LCSA surveys our member organisations to capture who they are, where they operate, what they do, the scale of their activity, and the impact of their work. The Census provides baseline sector data and highlights the community value of neighbourhood and community centres (NCCs) in NSW to support LCSA’s advocacy, particularly ahead of the NSW state election in March 2027.

A unique survey link has been sent to the primary contact of each member organisation in order for you to take part in the Census. Organisations who complete the survey will get a copy of their own data, a statewide report on the community value of NCCs in NSW and in some cases, a regional or district data snapshot (contigent on a high participation rate in your region).

The LCSA Member Census survey will close on Monday. 30 March 2026 (11:50 PM).

The survey should take between 30-60 minutes to complete, provided you have relevant organisational documents with you, like your 2024-2025 annual report and audited financial statements.

If you are a member of LCSA and did not receive an email with your organisation's unique link to the survey, please contact us.
