JOY Media is the diverse voice of the LGBTQIA+ community. We are proud of the support we have given to not-for-profit groups via our community service announcement (CSA) program over many years.
Our free CSA program is available to small/micro organisations and services specifically catering to the LGBTQIA+ community that do not receive significant levels of government funding. Proof of not-for-profit status may be requested; JOY reserves the right to decline an application for a free CSA.
Types of CSA
Option 1 – General CSA
An ongoing on-air campaign promoting the services that your community group offers. This is to help promote your organisation or services more broadly.
Option 2 – One-off community event CSA
A short term CSA for one-off events, scheduled over 3 weeks in the lead-up to event. We require 5 weeks notice prior to the event start date, so our volunteer producers have sufficient time to produce and record the audio announcement, so the on-air promotion may commence three weeks before the event.
Application process
When your CSA fits the above criteria, please complete a CSA application ensuring all details are completed or the application will not be able to be processed.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
JOY requires at least 2 weeks notice to produce a CSA – we will try our hardest to produce the CSA in a shorter time-period, however please note that it may not be possible.
We do our very best to find room for all CSA requests, however we can’t always accommodate all requests received.
You may also consider sending an email to interviews@joy.org.au as there may be scope for promoting your event/service via interview on a JOY program.
Discounted not-for-profit sponsorship advertising packages are available for those who fall outside the above guidelines and you still want to have your message heard on JOY, whilst financially supporting the work that we do. Learn more about sponsoring JOY here.
Finally, JOY 94.9 offers distribution of a CSA produced at JOY to stations across Victoria or Australia. If you wish to know more about this production service, let us know at the time of submitting your CSA application.
If you have any questions, please email csa@joy.org.au
