Frequently Asked questions

How do I start a co-operative?

You’ve come to the right place. The first step is to review our Support for Start-Ups page. This will give you a broad overview of how we can assist.

Can I access a recording of the online event I attended after the event?

In most cases, we will provide all registered attendees with a unique link to re-watch the recording of the event. Dependent on the event and content itself, please do not distribute this further than yourself. If you would like wider access to the event, we often also provide the recordings as a downloadable resource for a small fee. 

Please note that this does not necessarily apply to all online events. 

Do I need to be a co-operative to become a member?

No. If you are wanting to establish a co-operative but are not yet at that stage in business, you can join as a Provisional Member. Individual advocates for the co-operative sector can also join.

To become a full member, however, you need to be registered under the relevant legislation or operating in a co-operative manner.
