Who We Are
The Co-op Federation is a peak body for co-operatives in Australia. We formed in 1993 as ‘Co-operatives NSW’ and steadily grew to welcome members from other states and territories. We now represent 180 member co-operatives across Australia, spanning all sectors from agriculture to childcare, from clubs to taxi co-operatives from retail stores to bicycle couriers! We are funded party through membership subscriptions and partly through consultation.
The Co-op Federation is a non-distributing (not-for-profit) co-operative, governed by a Board of Directors as elected by our member co-ops.
